Respectful

Author: Bijibilla Rama Rao January 21, 2026 Duration: 6:22

Showing admiration for someone or something. Showing politeness or honour to someone or something. To accept that something is important and not to try to change it or cause offence.

The community is welcome to join a thoughtful, respectaful discussion across differences. Respectful refers to showing or characterized by politeness, deference, or considerate behavior towards others. It involves acknowledging and valuing the feelings, opinions, rights and traditions of others. It also refers to behaving in a way that does not harm, offend or disregard the well-being of others. Being respectful often includes the expectation of reciprocity, with the understanding that respect is earned and should be mutual.

“We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another.” — brightdrops.com

“They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.” — Mahatma Gandhi

“If we lose love and self-respect for each other, this is how we finally die.” — Maya Angelou

“If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Don’t allow the actions of others to decrease your manners, because you represent yourself, not others.” — Pinterest.com

“If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others’ to respect you.” — Wishyourfrnds.com

Respect is earned through our attitude. Our actions alone elevate and enhance us to the next level in reality. We should cultivate the habit of self-respect in day-to-day life. It gives self confidence and improve our courage levels to generate the power within. It also develops the overall personality in all respects at all times on all occassions in this regard. When we respect ourselves we try to respect others and love them to share something when need arises and move forward to help them at our level best and create an environment with peace then provide to set an example to others. It gives an immense pleasure and satisfaction. Satisfaction plays a key role in this respect and makes an impact on us and others as well. We should cultivate this habit right from childhood. Parents and teachers will play an active role to cherish and grow as respectable person in this universe. Neighbors and friends also play the equal role in longrun to create an impression in our society. Overall, we should become and prove as useful citizen of this society. Community growth is our own growth. When we grow together we become strong and stable in longrun. It also sends the message to future generations as mark of tradition. It looks natural and others will follow the same procedure. It keeps on continuing as a matter of custom to feel and heal. Healing is part of the process. When we are clean, clear, fearless and genuine we come forward to help others. Helping nature will grow slowly over a period of time. Help ever hurt never is the style of living. Honesty and integrity are the way of living.
