Is it just about you? (Part 2)

Is it just about YOU? (Part 2)

Respect is only given when honor is given to whom honor is due.

Did not the bible talks about the honoring of the weaker vessel?
So what if you are the boss of a certain company? If you do not give honor to the employees that are older, who are physically a weaker vessel, no one will give you the respect that is due to you too...

Met an unpleasant rich guy last week... rich, driving a relatively very good car but so what. He drove into other people's things because of his poor driving skills and stare at people as though its their fault and did not even apologise... people really don't care how rich you are or how famous you are if you don't learn to honor others.

If you expect others to respect you, you first got to honor others. Respect is earned not demand...

i used to have a principal who seems to be a very nice person till we saw the other side of her, where she started to scold the students like they are rubbish, just because of $10 school building fund. Over $10! She lost control of herself and even kicked one of my classmate. From then on, all the respect she had ever earned was lost in just one incident.

Many great leaders are great not for the things they achieve all their lives, but the respect they earned from the people because of the honor they have for others.

Don't judge others according to your standard. Render the honor to those who do not have the same gifts as you do. There will also be areas that they are better than you. We are all given gifts and talents by God, according to different measures at different point of our lives. Hence, do not boast about them like they come from you, lest they are taken away from you.
