When I was a teenager I had a pretty tough time, I was covered in acne for which I was bullied constantly for, and I only had a handful of friends that were not of the so called ‘popular’ variety. I found school life very tough and became a recluse, I spent all my spare time hidden away in my room playing computer games and feeling pretty damn sorry for myself, I was lonely, frustrated and down right miserable, so what did I do about it?

Well nothing I was a teenager, I simply carried on through life and put the past behind me. I discovered later in life that this would serve me well in recognising my own faults and pitfalls, and to help develop confidence and the ability to take control of my own life, this is how I did it.

When I started my working life as a refuse collector at the age of 18, I quickly learnt that in the adult world it was a sink or swim situation in climbing the social ladder and being considered as a man. I was still very quiet and timid at this age and mixing with large burly men twice my age seemed quite daunting, but I found myself developing a sense of humour around these guys, and began to take part in the jokes and laughter, many of these men became my friends and respected me simply because I made them laugh.

Dominate

The biggest and most successful tool you will ever need to assert yourself as an upstanding and well respected man is ‘dominance’. This does not mean you need to go around beating people up and sleeping with all the women, we are humans and stuff like that should be left to the animals, you need to be more subtle than that. It is actually quite easy to dominate a situation, you just have to take control, for instance if someone in a group of friends makes a joke, you tell a better one, if someone tells about there time in the army, you tell them about your time in the SAS, you get the idea. Most people are too polite and let others speak whilst they sit and listen, this is fine but if you want to be dominant then you need to steer clear of doing this.

Body language

Another key element in asserting yourself as a man is posture, keep your back straight and stand tall, don’t slouch or hunch and refrain from looking at the ground. A good firm handshake is always a good way to show you mean business, and a big open smile indicates confidence. A good tip when entering the room at a party is to greet everyone as you walk in, just say hello, give a wink to some of the women, and make it known you have arrived by cheering or making a loud gesture, you may look a tit at first but you will dominate a room this way, and people will remember you.

Conversation

It doesn’t matter if you are at a party or a job interview conversation is key to being taken seriously and looked up to, don’t just talk about rubbish, talk about current news and events and make clear objective comments and give a strong opinion on your topics.

Learn Skills

Get your head in some books or take classes but learn some skills, I don’t mean floristry or cake decorating I mean useful practical skills like how to change a tire or do an oil change on a car, learn to rewire electrics in your house, learn about DIY, learn about hunting, learn about bricklaying, anything that is useful and practical will boost your respect meter up a hell of a lot, people that can fix or mend things are very well revered in society.

Respect women

Look after and provide for your woman, meet her from work in the rain, cook her a meal, run her a bath and get up at night when the baby cries, your wife may not show it but it is these things she really appreciates, and a man that takes care of his woman gets maximum respect and adoration by both sexes.

It all sounds very simple of course, but I learnt all this through many errors and finding stuff out for myself, I have messed women about, make some appalling conversation choices, made a fool of myself in public and have been the one that sits in the corner at a party.

Now of course I take charge of my life and what I do, as I finish this article I just want to make a short list of key things to remember and take in.

1. Be confident and dominate

2. Don’t let people tell you what to do with your life

3. Make good informative conversation

4. Look after and cherish your woman

5. Treat everyone you meet as an opportunity to explore

6. Be brave and take charge of problems you may face

7. Don’t worry about anything accept what is important to you, everything else is irrelevant

8. Live everyday like it is your last and smile at everyone you meet

Are you ready for the next biggest football event? Indeed, there is no bigger event than the NFL championships – the Super Bowl. The 44th Super Bowl series will be held at the Landshark Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Since 1997, the Landshark Stadium has hosted several football events and that includes two World Series and four Super Bowls. This will be the fifth time that Landshark Stadium will host the Super Bowl and the ninth for the entire Miami area.

Super Bowl XLIV will officially start on February 7, 2010. The show will also be aired live via CBS. And because of the event’s popularity, it has always been considered almost as a national holiday in the US. Fans fondly call the event the Super Bowl Sunday. It is also the day when most families are out enjoying the food and the activities in and around the area. The NFL championship is almost as popular as Thanksgiving Day.

More than the championship itself, the half time shows during the Super Bowl games are highly anticipated as well. Many big stars have graced the game through their intermissions numbers during half-time. Among them are Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Paula Abdul, Madonna, and Tom Petty. For 2010, there are negotiations that Bon Jovi will do the half-time show. However, Bruce Springsteen and his band had initially aired their willingness to do the half-time show so it is most likely that they will end up as the next Super Bowl half-time performers.

Being one of the biggest events in 2010, Super Bowl XLIV will definitely make Florida a very busy state with all the tourists and the fans traveling to the place just to watch their favorite game live. As the designated hosts, the Tampa Bay area has signaled an ‘all systems go’ alert for the event. Even the highways and the transportations are ready to take both the locals and the tourists to the stadium. The hotels and inns are all geared up for the event as well. The restaurants have their menu all straightened out as early as now to feed the multitudes of hungry fans who are ready to join in the fun.

The Landshark Stadium has a seating capacity of more than 65,000 and it can hold as much as 75,000 people if needed. The stadium has the best amenities too, with the 195 luxury suites being the best seats in the house. Watch your favorite game in a private room complete with restroom, bar, television screens, retractable windows, and air conditioning systems.

If you intend to watch the NFL 2010 championships live, you better secure your tickets and parking this early. With the number of people all ready to enjoy the big event along with their families, it could be hard to get last chance tickets along the way. Right now, the tickets for Super Bowl XLIV can easily be ordered online and then delivered to your home or be scheduled for pick up. As the event nears, the prices and the availability of these tickets could change greatly.
