“If a man is as wise as a serpent, he can afford to be as harmless as a dove.” – Cheyenne

There is no one answer to this question, as the wisdom of a man is subjective. However, some experts say that it is important for men to be harmless and not seem threatening or aggressive.

“You have to look deeper, way below the anger, the hurt, the hate, the jealousy, the self-pity, way down deeper where the dreams lie, son. Find your dream. It’s the pursuit of the dream that heals you.” – Billy Mills

Looking further than anger, hurt, hate and jealousy can actually do more harm than good. The more you focus on the wrong things, the harder it will be to move on. So, when you start seeing yourself as a victim instead of a creator, it's only natural to become bitter and resentful. And that only leads to more pain and dysfunction. To find your dream, look down deep into the core of who you are and what makes you happy.
