There are some things that money can’t buy… like Manners, Morals and Integrity. In fact, the greatest act of rebellion today is being a true Gentleman.
A Gentleman is always punctual. If he is not 10 minutes early, then he is already late; is hard working, honest and ethical with his clients and his own suppliers; always pays his debts within the agreed timeframe; does not abuse alcohol or drugs, or the kindness of any person; stands up for what he believes in, and for those unjustly treated; is helpful beyond the call of duty; never talks about his tailor, or puts anyone in a bad light, ever; has all the relevant information, knows what to say, and knows whether or not he should say it; is courteous and respectful to everyone, including his staff and those who appear not to deserve it - the final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him. Ladies may follow these guidelines too (just substitute ‘dressmaker’ for ‘tailor’). There are many more, too numerous to mention, but if you get these right then it’s more than likely the others will be in place as well.

Be a Gentleman
Meditation often brings out unusual, sometimes almost unbelievable, insights. Omar Kayyam, a Persian mathematician, astronomer and poet (18 May 1048 - 4 December 1131) contributed significantly to the science of his time. For example, he created a calendar which proved to be a more accurate computation of time than that proposed five centuries later by Pope Gregory XIII. He is, however, more widely known for his poetry than anything else.
Philippians 4:8
A Gentleman is always punctual. If he is not 10 minutes early, then he is already late; is hard working, honest, and ethical with his clients and his own suppliers; always pays his debts within the agreed timeframe; does not abuse alcohol or drugs, or the kindness of any person; stands up for what he believes in, and for those unjustly treated; is helpful beyond the call of duty; never talks about his tailor, or puts anyone in a bad light, ever; has all the relevant information, knows what to say, and knows whether or not he should say it; is courteous and respectful to everyone, including his staff and those who appear not to deserve it - the final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him. * Ladies may follow these guidelines too (just substitute ‘dressmaker’ for ‘tailor’).  There are many more, too numerous to mention, but if you get these right then it’s more than likely the others will be in place as well.
Almost everyone has had, at some stage in their life, cause to reflect on quatrain LXXI of his arguably most famous poem “The Rubaiyat of Omar Kayyam”.

Freeware is controversial - people say you cannot get something for nothing, there is always a catch. This is not always true. One of the excellent quality programs which are free is a Bible program called theWord. Six different versions are available in this package, with the facility to compare between the KJV, English Standard Version (ESV), Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), Textus Receptus (TR), and the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). It is 55.5 MB, so it may take a while to download. You can find it *here*. There are many additional modules, for example “Die Bybel in Afrikaans 1983” for $9.95. The New International Version (NIV) and the New King James Bible (NKJV) have become available, check their website for prices. See *this page* for a comprehensive selection of modules currently available.
