Be Respected
If anyone wants to be respected by others, wealth, clothing or physical attractiveness are not requirements. The way others perceive us isn't necessarily based on our level of education, what schools we may have attended or with whom we are acquainted. Respect is accorded to those who live respectable lives--that is, people that conduct themselves with integrity and treat others, in turn, with high regard. If we set the example by respecting ourselves--appreciating our own good qualities and using them to highlight the positive in others' lives, then our example will be followed and that same regard will likely be shown to us in return. The most important thing to remember is that respect is earned; we must act respectably in order to receive the benefits.
Steps
Always present yourself as a clean person--bathed, groomed and dressed neatly. Clothing doesn’t need to be expensive but it should be laundered and in good repair. Take care of your health and your teeth. Your ready smile will show others that you enjoy your own company and theirs too.
Keep your language clean and respectable. Say positive things about others whenever possible, but be sincere. People can recognize the difference between true interest and forced flattery.
Try not to be a negative person. It is easy to point out the downside of a situation but if we make the effort to overcome our obstacles we can lead happier lives and be an encouragement to others. Find ways to assist those who need help and your own troubles will seem less overwhelming.
It's wonderful greeting people in a proper friendly manner. It is appreciated and returned by others. Start a trend!
Never bully others or take advantage of their weaknesses. Bullies are not respected because they do not show respect. Allow people to keep their dignity.
Don’t act like a know it all. People do not appreciate it when you act superior to them.
Be a good role model. Set an example others would like to follow. When another person imitates you, it is a sign of respect. If someone else has set a good example, let them know how much you appreciate it by your own actions.
Don't join in with the latest craze that skin is in, just because others may be following the popular style. Respect yourself by making your own choice. This will bring respect from others.
Respond calmly and reasonably to others, even if they are disrespectful to you. Try to appreciate why another person may be upset or feel defensive.
Treating the other person as you would like to be treated will help you both to communicate and reach better terms.
Remember that we are all people with faults and weaknesses. It keeps us from looking down on others.
Stay focused on people instead of things. Things may be lost or destroyed; people are so much more important and our true value is not what we have, it is the person we are inside that others will respect.
If you respect yourself and others around you, keep your home and surroundings clean and well kept. Your neighbors will respect you and the neighborhood will be a better place for everyone.
