First, let’s get one thing clear. You’ve been sold a lie.

It’s the dream of a good career — A stable job, a regular pay check, and a clear sky for steady advancement.

This may have been true forty years ago, but it simply no longer applies in today’s world.

Characteristics of a Gentleman: 30 Unconventional Tips

January 20, 2020March 24, 2017 by Phil Williams

The characteristics of a gentleman cannot always be quantified in a simple list, but it helps. This guide gives you just a few ways to be a better gentleman on a daily basis and show the world we still exist.

1. Always watch what you say

Only a child or a fool misuses the power of his tongue. Words have the ability to build up or tear down. And once said, they can never be taken back. A gentleman chooses wisely.

2. Be a contributing member of society/Give without expecting anything in return

Be the first to say hello to a stranger passing you on the street. Give something back to someone less fortunate than you whether that be time or money.

3. Speak up and make eye contact

Shifty eyes and a mumble of a low voice would put even the most trusting man on the edge. Speaking up while looking into the other person’s eyes shows courage and respect.

4. Smile and make someone’s day with a well-timed compliment

This should probably be number in our list of characteristics of a gentleman. My dad used to tell me to smile even when I didn’t feel like it. I hated it until I understood the reason. When you genuinely smile at someone, you remove the barrier of unfamiliarity. It makes you a welcoming presence and that, alongside a well-timed compliment like “Nice shoes”, will make half the world fall in love with you.

Classic Cocktail #1 – The Hemingway Daiquiri

January 20, 2020March 24, 2017 by Phil Williams

As you may or may not already know, Hemingway was a bit of a writer 😏 and a bit of a drinker. He could apparently pack away 10 or more of these lovelies whenever the feeling struck him.

You have to be pretty impressive to not only have the drink but also the double named in your honor (Papa Doble).

Take the time to savor this classic cocktail and let it transport you to the 1930’s when men still dressed up to leave the house, women were still rocking shoulder pads and a diabetic writer was making a name for himself in a little Havana bar called The Floridita.
