Respect has great importance in our everyday life. From childhood we are taught to respect our parents, teachers and the elders, family and cultural traditions, other people’s feelings and rights, the truth and people’s differing opinions.
We develop great respect for people who live by example and lose respect for those we discover to be not likewise. We may also come to believe that, at some level, all people are worthy of respect. We may learn that relationships become unbearable if we receive no respect in them.
Environmentalists tell us to respect nature. Members of racial and ethnic minorities and those discriminated against because of their gender, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, or economic status demand respect both as social and moral equals and for their cultural differences.
We may have learned that our lives can be better when we respect the things that deserve to be respected and that we should respect some things independently of considerations of how our lives would go.
Respect is something that you cannot buy or to be force upon, it can only be earn. A true leader knows that it is important to respect others and will only do the things that are able to earn the respect of others. We may have come from a different background, a different society or a different religious belief and because of the fairness that is offered by the network marketing industry, we must show our respect for everyone.
Only by this belief of respect, we are able to work together collectively towards a common goal. A network leader treats everyone with respect, upline, downlines, customers and his prospects. He is mindful when he speaks, his words will not hurt others and he will live up to his name. When you show respect for another, you are interacting with dignity and kindness. You honor others no matter what their accomplishments or perceived abilities are. Giving and receiving respect builds self-esteem and confidence.
“Respect a man, he will do the more” - James Howell
True true…our ministers should read this to understand that respect is earned. Then they will understand why they are all losing the public’s respect.
