HOW TO GAIN RESPECT.
Respect is not to be demanded but gained. If you want to command the respect from others do the following:
1.RESPECT YOURSELF.- if you dont respect yourself others will not respect you. A mistake some people make is to think that they must not show any indication of self-respect lest they accuse them of being proud. No person can expect another to respect him, if he shows no appreciation of his or her own worthy. Just go about saying, " iam no good," and others will conclude that you must be right. You should be a better judge than they. Respect your body also by dressing morally.
2. POSSESS CHARACTER.- Character is the reflection of our inner lives. It reveals what one is under various circumstances. A person applying for a position will be asked for a " character reference", and the position will not go to the expert, if he is void of character; it belongs to the next who possesses ability plus character. Character is worth more than aquired knowledge of the business world. People are afraid to trust one who has not character.
3. RESPECT FOR OTHERS. A golden rule for those desiring respect is , " have the same respect for others that you wish others to have for you." You are a victim of pride, if you respect yourself more than others. Abraham Lincoln was and is the most honoured of all united states presidents. Why? Lincoln honoured others. He stopped to talk with servants and people of low rank. He was grateful for the opinion of a child, and the suggestion of a child that he should grow a beared so pleased him that he not only adopted it but wrote the child a letter of thanks. Others respected lincoln because he respected the common man. If you respect others , they will soon respect you.
God bless you dear friendly reader.
