WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

The idea of “true or responsible men” is not to suggest that to be successful a boy must become a famous statesman, author, scientist, church leader, athlete, businessman, or teacher. Instead, great men have confidence, are mentally and emotionally healthy, succeed in their relationships with others, use their talents to make their own contribution to the world, give something back to society, and—most importantly—are prepared to mentor others.
