Recently, netizens shared online what they considered to be the qualities of a highly respected man. Our reporter compiled a list of 28 of these traits.
1. Honor the promises you make. Make sure you follow through on anything you say you’ll do.
2. Avoid having a romantic relationship with another man’s wife.
3. Quit bragging about your wealth or your accomplishments at work.

6. If you get the chance to speak in front of a crowd, keep your remarks brief and to the point.
7. Become familiar with the language of the individual whose assistance you want. For instance, if you want a Kikuyu man to help you, study a little Kikuyu beforehand, then select a suitable moment during your conversation to use it. Your host will enjoy having you.
8. Show courage and make the women and children in your care feel secure. Never stand by and watch someone else be bullied.
9. If someone in a discussion persists in expressing their point of view, let them be and, when it is appropriate, shift the subject. The conversation can then continue amicably.
