RESPECT

Having decided that respect is what I am seeking I thought I would make a list of some of the ways respect can be shown in our daily lives. The golden rule is always a good way to start. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Dr. Tony Alessandra PhD. created what he thinks is a better way of expressing that which is, Do unto others as they would have you do unto them. It seems everyone has their own opinion of respect.

Some of the ways I thought of are:
Listen attentively
Be considerate
Keep your word
Be on time
Use please, thank you and excuse me
Encourage others
Be fair and truthful
Do more than expected
Strive for dignity
Do not assume
Follow your own footsteps
Don't take more than your share
Help others when asked
Don't belittle anyone for anything
Show honest interest
Give positive feedback
Acknowledge and accept differences

Even if people regularly practiced some of those things they would be on their way to living their life with respect. Try it you might like it!
