Respect is a spring breeze, a clear spring, a warm sleeping pill and an inspiring tonic. It often complements sincerity, humility, tolerance, appreciation, kindness and friendliness, and is incompatible with hypocrisy, arrogance, harshness, ridicule, malice and snobbery. Give respect to successful people and show admiration, praise and pursuit of others' success; Giving respect to those who fail is sympathy, comfort and encouragement to others after their failure. As long as there is respect, there is true feelings in the world, and there is hope in the future. After success, there will be continuous progress, and after failure, there will be a comeback.
Respect is not blind worship, nor disgusting flattery; It is not unprincipled humility, nor is it condescending without self-esteem. Knowing the importance of respecting others does not mean learning how to respect others. In this sense, respect is also a science. When you learn to respect others, you learn to respect yourself, and you also learn and master a major meaning of life.
The ancients said, "Those who love others will always love others, and those who value others will always value others." Respect goes both ways. If you can give people respect, others will appreciate you. If you are despised by others, others will despise you. Therefore, we should always remember that respecting others means respecting ourselves, and respect is an essential virtue in life.
Not only that, respect lies in sincerity, and it must come from the heart. False respect can only be superficial, and it will only be annoying if you look deep. When many foreigners came to China, they all lamented the enthusiasm and courtesy of China people. However, after a long time, people in China are not so good. It turns out that China people are duplicitous in appearance and duplicity in words and deeds. Respect is only superficial, and it is not unified with the heart.
One more thing, respect, respect and value. But many people only pay attention to "respect" and ignore "attention", mistakenly thinking that "respect = respect", but it is not. Legend has it that before Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage, Sun Quan sent Zhang Zhao to hire Zhuge Liang as his minister, but he refused. He said: "Power is bright, but not bright." It means that Sun Quan can only respect him and regard him as a guest of honor, but can't use him as wisely as possible and attach importance to him. Therefore, it cannot be called "respect". Later, thanks to Liu Bei's snowstorm, he became his strategist. Liu Bei shared the same bed with him, talking about world affairs all day long and feeling like brothers. Everything that involves the war situation should be discussed and listened to before making a decision. Zhuge Liang was truly "respected" before he made the move of "taking six out of seven" to level the world.
To sum up, respect is a virtue, a virtue that needs to be understood, a virtue that needs to be taken to heart, and a virtue paved with sincerity. Only by respecting others at all times can we be respected by others.
John dewey, the most learned philosopher in the United States, said: "The most profound driving force in human nature is the importance of hope." Everyone comes to this world with a desire to be respected, cared for and affirmed. When you meet his requirements, he will glow with great enthusiasm for what you respect and become your good friend.
