SELF RESPECT

 Each one of us wants others to respect him. This is not easy, of course. It is much greater and more important than money and other worldly things one has to earn it. You cant force people to respect you. Some people, though rich and powerful, struggle throughout their life to acquire it but fail. On the other hand some poor people successfully gain the respect of others. It all depends on low you behave and what you do for others. We have to give respect to others in order to earn love and respect of others.

     

  In addition to giving respect to others we must respect ourselves too. This is very important. There are many people who do not respect themselves. They have a low self- esteem. If you make fun of them and tell them that they are good for nothing and will achieve nothing life, they may actually believe you because they don’t have any faith in themselves. And if they don’t change their low opinion towards themselves, they are most likely to become complete failures in life.

  

On the other hand a person who has a high self-esteem and self- respect can succeed in achieving anything he strives for. He walks tall and people respect him because so as to be respected by others on needs to respect one`s own self too. Hence, in order to enjoy a respectable life, respect others as well as respect yourself.
