Should respect be automatically extended or earned? 🌟 Different cultures, societies, and individuals may have varying beliefs about this. Here are two perspectives: In this view, respect is something that should be earned through actions, behavior, or achievements. People must demonstrate qualities such as integrity, honesty, kindness, and competence to deserve respect. Advocates of this perspective argue that automatically granting respect can lead to undeserved admiration or trust, which may be detrimental if given to individuals who haven't demonstrated worthy characteristics. Alternatively, some believe that respect should be extended to all individuals by default, regardless of their actions or background. This viewpoint often stems from principles of human dignity and basic decency. Advocates argue that offering respect automatically fosters a more inclusive and positive environment, encouraging mutual understanding and cooperation. In practice, a balanced approach might be appropriate. While it's important to treat everyone with a basic level of dignity and courtesy, deeper levels of respect may indeed need to be earned over time through consistent actions and behavior.

RESPECT. A word that is so over rated these days. What do you mean by respect? The Oxford Dictionary states that it is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Now, let me ask you, if that is the definition of respect, is this something to be earned? By what means? Is it by position? Wealth? Assets? Culture? Background? I’ll give you the time to reflect on that. Every one has gone through something hard in life. And your hard may not be the same level of hard as others might perceive it to be. My question is, what do you do when you see, feel and hear that someone is going through something hard in their life? Do you help them out? Do you hear them out and give advice? Or do we remove and replace them? Whatever you do, that makes up who you are as a person. It is all equally proportional. What are the rules of society when we talk about respect? Do we really understand the words respect and equality? I believe we’re far beyond that. If we only see ourselves and our own journey and struggles, we may be blinded by what these two words really mean. What’s my message here? Let’s automatically respect each other. That’s what I personally strive to do, and every one I know would have the chance to lose it. We have all gone through something hard in life and the fact that I still see you powering through and not giving up gives me so much admiration with how you carry yourself. Respect is a two way street and that’s something we all have to understand. Respect is a feeling after all. 💕

🔆 Redefining Respect: It's Time to Honor Everyone Equally…!!! 🔆 Respect is a word that carries immense power. It's not just for those who are senior or elder to us, but equally for our peers and especially those juniors to us. Growing up, we were always taught to respect our elders and seniors, but rarely did anyone emphasize the importance of extending the same respect to our juniors and peers. Let's change that narrative. Has anyone of you experienced the impact of giving or receiving respect in unexpected ways? Share your stories and discuss how mutual respect shapes our professional and personal lives. #Respect #selfrespect #selfconfidence #motivation!

What is respect? Respect is thinking about other people. Showing dignity to people is important in personal relationships and at the workplace. Saying that you have done a job well means showing respect. The other person will be happy. Types of Respect: 1. Respect for others One should let others decide things. It is good manners to let others decide on something. 2. Self-Respect: One should have a positive view of oneself. Taking care of oneself mentally and physically 3. Respect friends by being loyal to them. 4. Show respect for your work colleagues. Listen to their ideas and expertise. Many times you have your own opinion, but listen to your junior also. Just because they are your juniors, that does not mean they are not right. 5. Learn to respect your teachers and elders. Teachers give you knowledge. Elderly beings are older than you have seen in this world. They have more experience than you. So respect their experience and learn from them. 6. Respect for other people’s customs and traditions is important today. Just because other people are different from you, that does not mean they are wrong Do let me know your views about respect.  #respect#customs

Respect is a multifaceted concept that encompasses various aspects of human behavior, attitudes, and values. Respect can be expressed through words, actions, and attitudes, and it plays a crucial role in fostering healthy relationships, promoting social harmony, and maintaining a civil society. Learn to respect yourself: Sometimes it’s hard to get others to respect us if we don’t do it ourselves. ✔ Treat others the way you want to be treated It’s a pretty cliché phrase, but it’s true. If you want to be respected, start by respecting others. People tend to be reciprocal. ✔ Respect yourself If others see that you have this, they will also consider and appreciate you and your needs. Consider yourself a priority. ✔ Use body language Body language is very important because it helps to transmit a lot of information. Although many times the information we send with the body is contradictory to our words. Therefore, if we give our opinion but with a faint voice, it is more likely that no one will take into account what we are saying. But on the contrary, if we express what we think in a firm voice, looking into the other’s eyes and confident in ourselves, they are more likely to respect us. ✔ Speak positively Even if you do not behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, do not underestimate yourself, or play down. ✔ Surround yourself with the right people Some people are just always disrespectful and no matter what we do they will always disrespect others. These people we should keep further away from us as possible. If you can’t keep them away then learn to ignore their comments. ✔ Defend yourself against disrespect If they disrespect you or don’t take you seriously, defend yourself. Don’t allow it. Don’t attack or respond in the same way either. With a “What you said has hurt me”, “That comment was inappropriate” or “I won’t allow you to speak to me like that”, these phrases will help for this behavior not to repeat again. ✔ Boost your self-esteem Many times we are not respected because we don’t consider ourselves worthy of it. This may be conscious or unconscious. Even if we rationally know that we do deserve respect, sometimes unconsciously we don’t end up believing it. That is why it’s important to work on your self-esteem. ✔ Develop assertiveness Assertiveness is a way of defending our rights while respecting those of others. By being assertive, we will avoid others taking advantage of us, besides increasing our self-esteem. To do this, it is important to learn to say no when something doesn’t feel right or doesn’t suit you. #career #coach #talentacquisition #India #bharat #recruitment #technology #recruiters #jobseekers #jobs #future #leadership #success #motivation #lifelessons #determination #bestadvice #lifeskills #linkedin #positivemindset #mentoring Follow Zenith Staffing

“R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me.” Timeless song and timeless advice because disrespect erodes relationships. In the workplace, respect is almost certainly demonstrated upwards. Shouldn’t it be shown upwards, downwards and sideways? I love that our CEO shows respect to all employees, regardless of title. Perhaps the issue is not knowing what disrespect is to a person. To me it is: • giving eye contact to everyone but me; • talking to me in a dismissive or condescending tone; • questioning my competence. Let’s find out what respect means to others and afford it, simply because of our shared humanity. #workplacebehavior #humanity #respect

One invaluable lesson that I have learned is that when it comes to respect, if a person doesn't respect you as a person, no number of accomplishments that you do will change their perception and cause them to start respecting you. Granted, they might pretend to do so or even say that they do, but the reality is that they are doing so because they want something. How we act towards people who society considers having the lowest social rank due to their occupation tells a great deal about us as individuals. If you see them as another person and try to interact with them accordingly, you know how to properly respect others. If you view this as beneath you, then you don't view others as people but as pawns. Achieving things is a worthy goal, but at the end of the day, your achievements will not move the dial in getting people to respect you. In fact, it likely will open you up for other issues.
