Servanthood

If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be and why?

"I chose servanthood because in my life all of the men that have made a significant impact on me and the people around them have been incredible servants. I think the sign of a true leader is someone that puts others first.  Either in marriage, singleness, or business.  If you are able to put others first, regardless of their qualifications, you are exhibiting great manhood.

Who is the manliest person you know? 

"My father. In my life, my father has shown incredible "manliness" and servanthood to me.  He married my mom when I was 11 and has continually put our family's interests and needs before his. He is the hardest worker that I know and is incredible "serving" with how he uses that money to support my mom and sister.  He knows that to lead my mom and raise my sister well he has to support them by serving. I hope to be as hard of a worker and server as he continues to be."
