Your dad's not here to fix things that you break and your mom's not here to clean up your messes. It's up to you to learn how. Seriously, to be a man you need some basic skills. Being prepared for whatever life may throw at you is a key marker of maturity.
See a Problem?
Start by learning how to be prepared for emergencies — take a first aid or survival class, get CPR certified, help your family plan what to do in the event of a natural disaster. Even if you never use what you learn, you'll feel better about yourself knowing that you can take charge when all hell breaks loose. Of course, every problem you encounter won't be an emergency. You'll want to learn independence and preparedness in your day to day life too.
At the very least, know how to feed yourself from scratch if you have to, keep your home organized, and do your laundry without ruining your clothes. You should really work to develop some basic repair skills as well. Can you shut off an overflowing toilet? Deal with a blown fuse? Hang a shelf? The above guidelines tie into one basic principle: a grown man should be able to take responsibility for problems that come up in his life. That means following through on what needs to be done and not making excuses.
A few specifics follow. Be on time — be smart about your own time and show others that you value theirs.
If punctuality doesn't come naturally to you, commit to finding a system that works — you have plenty of options. You have to be able to rely on yourself before others can rely on you — and you can't do that when you're overwhelmed. Simplify and organize your life. Think carefully about where you tend to drop the ball and focus on confronting, and fixing, those problems. You don't have to be perfect, and you needn't expect an overnight transformation.
Hold yourself accountable and stay focused on small but steady and continuous improvement. Those around you will notice. Conflict is a part of life. People will disagree with you. Some will disrespect you. A few may even hurt you. But no matter how gravely you're wronged, one thing is certain: how you handle it is up to you.
How to Be a Grown Up
An important part of learning to be a man is learning to pick your battles. Some people may annoy you but are essentially minding their own business. Do the same. Some are just trying to get a cheap rise out of you.
Ignore them. And some, you'll have to stand up to.

When you meet them, you'll be glad you didn't waste your energy on smaller nuisances. You can stand your ground and be strong without being angry and reactive. You can be understanding without being spineless. It's your responsibility and within your power! When it comes to your goals and life aspirations, the only factor you can really control is yourself.
When you're facing overwhelming odds or life throws tremendous suffering your way, that may not feel like too much power. Your control over yourself is incredibly powerful. You can always take a step, however small, towards what you're after. Penguin Shop Penguin Shop Book bundles. Penguin gifts. Writing workshops. View all. Events Podcasts Apps Newsletter.
