Platinum milestones of the modern man.

For the longest time, men have aimed at crossing certain milestones in every phase of their life. Milestones that should have been accomplished by a certain age. From bagging that first job by 23, owning a car by 28, buying a house by 35, a man used these milestones to establish where he stood in society. And these milestones were indicative of his wealth and marked his arrival as a successful man. But today, the story is a little different. With democratization of access to economic resources, opportunity, financial independence, status and authority, older codes of success for men have become irrelevant.
The man today wants to be identified beyond his wealth and status. Instead of blindly chasing goals made by the external world, he is intent on looking within to find the answers.

He seeks to imbibe a certain value system that makes him stand out, and his milestones are reflective of where he stands in his journey to personal greatness. His values are at the forefront of his milestones that bring out the strength of his character. He recognizes milestones that teach him, groom him, nurture and strengthen his value system. It is indeed a unique set of values that make his character so rare. And for men like these, platinum is the ultimate choice that truly captures the essence of their being. Platinum is as rare as the values that define men of character, which is why they are called “Men of Platinum”.

Here’s a look at some unique milestones of a man of character:

WHEN CHARACTER HAS COURAGE, IT’S RARE

The intent of moving beyond the limitations one sets on self takes immense strength and grit. A man of character is aware that the shift from intent to action is not easy. But he doesn’t let fear daunt his will, he has the courage to face the uncertainties and take the risk. He takes that step to overcome his fears.

WHEN CHARACTER HAS HUMILITY, IT’S RARE

Titles and designations are not what makes a man a leader. A man of character has genuine resolve to create an impact, influence and inspire, and that makes him a one-of-a-kind leader. He has the humility to learn from anyone and treats everyone as equals.

WHEN CHARACTER HAS PERSEVERANCE, IT’S RARE

Failure is a regular visitor on the way to success. The important part is to look at failure as a stepping stone to your goals and not give up. With a high sense of self-belief and conviction, a man of character perseveres through the odds and hardships, for he believes in a life of experiences where failure is an important lesson.

THE COMMITMENT TO CHOOSE THE GREATER GOOD

Choosing the greater good over personal gains is hard, but a man of character believes in his potential to drive change and create an impact. Their sole purpose to believe in something bigger than themselves leaves people inspired to take after them.

THE AUTHENTICITY TO BE HIMSELF

Leaving behind a legacy is an important purpose of a man of character. And it means to live an authentic life – a life where you are your true self and no adversity can deter your beliefs. They believe it is important to be genuine, unpretentious and original and inspire others to be most authentic versions of themselves as well.

“Men of Platinum” are the men who are changing the narrative of masculinity, and how one defines to be successful in life today. They navigate through life with a strong value system that they believe in and follow through, so that they can be proud of the only thing that matters – their character
