The World Needs More Competent Men
Aim to become a competent man. The more skills you have, the stronger in spirit and influence you become. There’s nothing more tragic than a man who’s mediocre at everything with no excellence possible.
Modern man has been neutered by the amenities of modern life. 69% of Americans are overweight or obese. All you need to do is look at the crowd and realize that most men are incompetent.
According to 2017 Pentagon data, 71 percent of young people are ineligible to join the military. The reasons: obesity, no high school diploma, or a criminal record. “This is a very real risk to our national security,” said Steve Doster.

Most men live a more sedentary lifestyle than before, but why? Plenty will blame the shift to air conditioned office spaces where men sit in a chair for 9 hours. But our children are also more obese than ever before.
The obvious culprit is “processed foods.” Specifically, it’s added sugar. Take a look at the food you’ve been buying at the grocery store. A can of soda has 39 grams of sugar. Which is more than a full grown man should drink in a day. I’m talking about a 12 oz can! Not a Big Gulp or other oversized drink that people get every day.
