“If they respect you,
respect them.
If they disrespect you,
still respect them.
Do not allow the actions of others
to decrease your good manners,
because you represent yourself
not others”
‘Do you have to follow the crowd?’
Did your mum or dad ever say this to you,
especially when you were at school?
Or even a teacher?
We do not have to follow others,
especially if their ‘standards’
are not the same as ours.
We do not need to
lose our “good manners” for ‘them’,
especially when we have worked so hard
to ‘raise ours’.
And remember that mirror?
Would I
want ‘that’ said or done to me?
This involves
a certain amount of ‘Self-Discipline’
to not allow yourself
to lower to their level.
Respect is a very Important word,
and it is something
that we all need to show and deserve.
The word means:
‘a feeling of admiration or a deferential action
shown towards someone or something
that is considered important or valuable’.
And it can also mean
to treat someone with Kindness and Care,
or to accept
the Importance of their rights or customs.
So basically,
Respect the other human being.
Plus,
when we continue to show Respect
‘against all odds’,
we are having that very
Positive impact on others.
And we are showing
that we have Control of our Lives.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
