The Importance of Respect for Others
What is the Importance of Respect for Others?
• Respect is a feeling of deep
admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. • It’s how we treat others, based on our innate sense of human decency. • Without respect, there would be chaos and dictatorships ruling the world… rather than the diplomacy we all strive for. Respect Breeds Tolerance and Acceptance
• In a world that is constantly changing its ideas of what is
acceptable and what is not… we need to educate and prepare ourselves to step out of our comfort zones. • There is no one religion we all follow and not all people conform to the same ideals. Not all people have access to the same freedoms, or the right to be seen as equals. • If you have respect for these differences (whether you fully agree with them or not), you will display tolerance for them. Respect Translates to Success
• If you show others respect for their accomplishments, no matter
how small they may seem at first, you will instill a sense of pride in them. • This pride will encourage them to press on and believe in themselves. • Eventually, they will come to believe that nothing is impossible and whatever they desire from life is within their grasp. Give Respect by Listening Others
• When you respect others, you
are telling them that they deserve to be heard. That their opinions and feelings matter. • You will be able to recognize the difference between someone who wants your advice and someone who is simply looking to be listened to. Respect Sets Healthy Boundaries
• If you are a compassionate or empathetic person, one of the
hardest things to do is know when to leave someone alone. • It’s hard to give them space, when all you want to do is be there for them and help figure out what is going on. • But by respecting boundaries, you are given them the time they need to open up on their terms. Respect Leads to Honesty
• If you truly respect someone, you don’t lie to them.
• Even white lies, which we often tell ourselves are meant to spare another person’s feelings, can backfire. • In the end, if you can’t trust someone, the relationship will suffer. • If you tell people the truth, even if it’s difficult to hear, they will trust you. Respect Teaches You Control and Patience
• If you have respect for others,
you will understand the importance of letting them find their own way… on their own time. • You won’t rush them or force them into a situation that would make them uncomfortable. How to Show Respect to Others
• Listen • Affirm • Be kind • Serve • Be polite • Be thankful
