Respect is earned, not given. And regardless of your age, gender, race, or ethnicity, anyone can earn respect by conducting themselves with integrity. Gaining the respect of others will not happen overnight, but remember that once respect is earned, you will have people listening to what you say.
1. Respect others.
Because respect is a two-way street, by respecting others, you will find yourself respected. This is also known as the "Golden Rule" or the "Yellow Rule" of treating others as you wish to be treated.Don't "bad-mouth" other people. That means that if there is a problem, try addressing it directly with the person instead of talking behind their back. See the opposing viewpoint. Trying to understand the other human's views, even if it's different from your own-it doesn't mean you are agreeing with them, but it shows respect for their opinion.
2. Respect yourself.
If you do not respect yourself, others will sense this and treat you accordingly. Take care of your appearance by being hygienic. Being poorly groomed usually sends a negative message to others about your self-worth.Stand up for your beliefs. Expressing your true feelings-even when they run contrary to the social norm-shows a sense of confidence in yourself. This is difficult to do, but a human with the courage to stand apart from the crowd and think independently is often regarded with respect.
3. Do your best at every task.
Even the difficult or menial ones. Establishing your competency or even mastery of a field will help others realize the value of your efforts.
4 Keep your word.
A human who honors their promises is considered trustworthy. If you cannot keep your word, gracefully communicate why you can't.
5. Be a role model.
Conduct yourself professionally, and hold yourself to high standards. After all, actions speak louder than words. And sometimes, actions can even inspire others. Be the change you want to see in the world-consider volunteering. Most people wait until their retirement to consider what legacy they will build. Start making yours now.
