Develop an attitude of gratitude, and be thankful for what others do for you. According to Randy Pausch,’’ Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other ”. In other words one simple act of Gratitude can help a person go from having a rough day, to a good day. For example, a boy bought his mom a vase after he broke one of hers. Consequently gratitude is the key for being respected. If you show gratitude to others, they will return it .

Throughout my life, I have met countless role models (supervisors, co-workers, teachers, coaches, my parents) who push me harder and harder every single day so that I will succeed beyond belief in the changing world of today. Respect is also holding you up to an expectation that gets tougher and tougher because I am pushing myself harder. I will always have respect for all today, tomorrow, and the future

An example of this in adult nursing could be in a hospital, during personal care. If a patient is unable to complete their own personal care and hygiene due to physical difficulties, such as if they have suffered a stroke in the past, nurses will help them to complete the care. Respect is used by the nurses when carrying out this task by ensuring they are speaking kindly to the patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, and by receiving permission before performing any task. By gaining the patients permission, they will feel that they have a higher level of control of the care, will feel more respected, and they will begin to develop a trusting relationship with the nurses.
We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others” (97). In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, no one has seen a rainbow after a storm, no one knew what colors were; what choosing was; what it meant to be an individual. Everyone lived in complete Sameness, and never learned what it meant to be an individual. By eliminating as much self expression as possible in Sameness and society, Jonas's community has rejected the individuality of a society where people are free to move society forward. In The Giver individuality is represented by colors, memories, and pale eyes.
The next tip is “give honest and sincere appreciation.” A recurring theme in this book, is that people want to feel like they are important. There is a driver forcing you to do everything in life. For example, as a chairperson of the Business Week publicity committee, I am working hard to promote the Business Week activities and increase attendance using creative tactics. When people show up to events because of a promotion I created, it makes me feel important and gives me a sense of fulfillment. Such is the case when dealing with others. If they know they are appreciated, they will feel important and will continue doing a good job in the future.
Respect is a behavior that shows another person moral and ethical acceptance. Showing respect for another, even when not deserved, is considered to be a good sign of breeding in times past, but now as where society has changed, dissing "show disrespect for" has become more accepted, this behavior suggests a cultural shift from rewarding kindness and self-restraint to applauding a more open expression of hospitality through rudeness. Perhapes there is a lessening of concern over being respectable, along with an increased vigilance oto make sure one is respected.Concludeing that Civility must beging with the individual person making small sacraficiesfor others.
If we acquire to appreciate the talents of others, then we will be able to applaud other people for who they truly are. Many times, in order to improve ourselves, we tend to compare ourselves with others. This is an act of selfishness because we are striving to be better than someone else. Learning how to apologize and say thank you is another way we could be more humble. When someone does something for us, it is important to have good manners and say thank you. Apologizing after we’ve made a mistake shows that we respect the other person’s feelings. The last important act of learning humbleness is learning how to listen to our peers, more than we talk. I love a person that will sit down and listen to how I feel without judging me. Having someone that cares about how I feel is an amazing sensitivity. It is still essential that we contribute to the conversation but listening shows that we are concerned about the feelings of that person.
People receive respect whether they are privileged or underprivileged; the difference is individuals that are privileged often aren’t receiving genuine respect. People treat privileged individuals with respect because the money says, “I’m better than you”. The money equals power or shows a higher status/position in life and people treat elitist as so with no questions asked. These “special” individuals also have a tendency to show little, if any respect for others, especially when the others look of little importance. It seem that the entitled ones don’t understand that respect should be given in order for it to be received. In actually, people don’t respect the affluent because tha...
From a young age, we are always taught to be kind and caring to others. Whether it is because of our religious views, or just simple human nature, there is a want to reach out and help someone who is in need. In my family, most, if not everyone, are genuinely caring people that would drop everything to help someone out. I, too, have followed along in those same tender-hearted footsteps, but, after some life learning experiences, have come to the conclusion that some people will take advantage of someone who puts others before themselves. Too many times I have been burned by people that I would have never thought would do such a thing. Most people can say the same thing for themselves and can describe several occurrences of that happening. This past year, in particular, has been a very eventful year for me. It has taught me many lessons and the most valuable one I will hold on to is “being nice isn’t always the best”. Finding a balance between being nice and making sure one does not get taken advantage may seem difficult at first, but it will keep one from going through the trials with a close friend that I have.
It took me a long time to fully understand how to do this. I had to learn that respect goes beyond the basic definition and into really learning and understanding about another culture. I have shared before about my experiences working in the Job Corps program and this is where I really had to become skilled in showing respect. I realized that part of respect to the individuals I was working with involved really taking the time to learn about their different cultures and how this has shaped their worldview, and what role their culture played in their development as an individual. This was where I first really learned about the effects of stereotypes, prejudice and racism on individuals over time. I learned that the best way to show respect to an invidual was to allow them to talk about their culture and their experiences, and to take in what they were saying and understand what had value to them. I learned that even if you might know something about a culture you do not always know the specific influence that culture had on the individual you are working with and the most respectful thing you could do is to allow them share with you. This was huge learning curve for me and I definitely struggled and made mistakes on the path to getting where I am. I will be honest and say at times I made assumptions, fell victim to stereotypes and, even made judgements, but over time I have learned and gown and can
Respecting people is very important thing to learn, or gain it from your parents. I learned from my father and my mother to respect people no matter how they look and my mother always says to me “don’t judge the book by its cover”. It means that even if a person who wearing badly clothes or looks bad, I can’t judge him saying he is bad person or he is poor or uneducated based on his look. Many times that happened to me, seeing a dirty person with bad clothes and then when I talk to him I change my mind because when I talk to him I know who he is. When I see my father’s attitude with people I see that with the poor person or the rich person or even people who work under him. My father attitude is always the same with them, and that make them love my father. Basically not the clot...
In our lives there is only one person that we really need to learn how to be kind to, care for, rely on, be honest with, and just overall love and respect, and that person is our own self. Then with this knowledge we are capable of sharing all that we have learned with others and giving them the things we want in return. Yet if we never learn how to respect ourselves we end up not experiencing life to the fullest. When one does not know how to appreciate oneself they cannot truly be happy. They begin to get depressed and/or lead their own life to what, according to others, is the path they should take.
They always told me to respect others no matter who they were, if I knew them or not, it 's a sign of respect from me and to the other person. It will show that I did grow up with a good education and it will also talk good about my parents. They always told me and kept reminding me that actions speak louder than words, to always show something that I was made of and not something that I 'm not. Hearing other people out, it shows your interests or even if you 're not, but try to show it because it 's showing respect to that person. Being respectful is a big part of me, I can never forget that, because if I want to be respected, I respect other people, to treat them the same way as I want to be treated, even if I think that I 'm not going to receive it back, and if I don 't, it shows that I 'm the bigger person. I guess that showing gratitude was one of the first thing that my parents showed me when I was younger, I always remember when I would receive something they would whisper in my ear or tell me to say "thank you" same thing if I wanted something, to say "please". To respect myself and not let others take
For instance, if you are at a coffee shop drive thru, listen to the person ordering behind you and decide if you can afford to pay for their order. If you can, pay for it. You will make their day, and as a bonus, you will make the cashier 's day as they witness an act of kindness that doesn 't happen that often.
