    My dad learned me what life is all about. The up’s and down’s but also how to be a winner, even it you didn’t cross the line first. Be a gentleman, and acknowledge when somebody is the better person in a situation. Always respect the elderly and handle them to feel precious. Women are not objects, but is the softer side of ourselves. Show them respect and be helpful at all times. Stand up if you see another man mistreating any women. You only deserve respect from another man when you show respect to what God has given freely and not abuse it for your own good.

    My dad is the gentlest gentleman I know. He is a 63yr old pensioner, still working hard everyday to provide for his children and grandson. Despite the death of my mother, 5 yrs ago, him living with type-2 diabetes and having severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) that has forced him to permanently be on oxygen and surviving a very recent farm attack, he still gets up with a smile every morning. He does physical work on the farm, tends to the sick farm animals and always jumps in to help the workers, so as to lessen their load. My dad is my biggest role model in life and he has taught us the true value of hard work, humility and happiness. My dad is my home.

    My dad is the epitome of gentleman and chivalry. Watching the way he treats my mum like a queen has set a high precedent of what I look for in a guy. My dad always shows respect when he speaks to people in general, he has high morals and deep integrity .. he is my hero and my role model.

    My dad has always treated women with the utmost respect, still opens doors and stands when a woman enters a room

    He did all the things a good Dad does, everything from teaching me how to swim, ride a bike, drive a car, read a map, apologise when I am wrong, tell the time, play chess, change the oil in the car, and to back myself to succeed in any given situation.
    He would always tell me the truth, even when he knew the truth might hurt. Whenever I feel like giving up, am frustrated, have a concern, or even a silly question; I know that he is no further than a phone call away for advice at any time of the day or night.
    I appreciate my Dad for standing on principal and for providing me with a sound moral foundation from an early age. He taught me value of right and wrong, and that doing the right thing might not always be the easiest option, it should be done all the same.
