75 Skills Every Man Should Master

This list from Esquire is a few years old, but still seems just as apt as when I read it in 2008.  Some of my favorites include:

#5 - name a book that matters

#9 - write a letter

#10 - buy a suit

#14 - chop down a tree

#16 - tie a bow tie

#18 - speak a foreign language

#40 - speak to an eight year old so he will hear

#44 - ask for help

#49 - say no

#51 - build a campfire

#55 - point to the North at any time

#71 - iron a shirt

#75 - negotiate a better price

I can't help but imagine a man who has mastered these skills and these skills only.  Check out the full list here.
