A friend ofmine once described my concept of being a Legacy Dad as the Yiddish concept ofmensch. So, here is my definition andexpression of what a Legacy Dad/Mensch is. Salute!
Mensch means "aperson of integrity and honor according to Leo Rosten the Yiddish maven andauthor of The Joys of Yiddish, mensch is someone to admire and emulate,someone of noble character. The key to being “a real mensch” is nothing lessthan character, rectitude, dignity, a sense of what is right, responsible,decorous.
A Legacy Dad strives to:
Display analtruistic attitude. Give to and helpothers simply out of respect for humanity and without an expectation of return.
Help asmany people as possible, change as many lives as possible.
Do theright thing always. Set the example for others to follow.
Live yourcharacter, morals and values openly and daily.
Be thebest husband, father, Christian and man you can be through faith, prayer, accountabilityand honesty.
Leave the world a better place becauseyou were here.
