Respect

I have received lots of advice in my life.  Some of it I have chosen to use and some I just put away in my mind for future reference. My parents gave me great advice over the years.  They gave it from love and experience.  They always wanted to keep me from any pain that they could.  I had true respect for my parents.

I think I usually took their advice, they knew what they were talking about.  My dad was 45 when I was born, he had lived a lot of life by then.  My mom was 36 and she had 8 children before and 1 after, so she knew so many things.  I'm not sure I always appreciated the advice at the time they gave it.  Those are some of the things that I filed away for future use.  There usually came a time when I realized the value of their advice.  My mom has been gone for almost 16 years now, and dad for a little over 38 years.

My parents told me "you have to give respect to get respect".  I believe that is so true.  I had a boss one time that called our group of employees together and told us he demanded respect.  When we all left the meeting we all said that we had no respect for him.  He chose to treat us all without respect and thought he could then demand that we respect him.  It just doesn't work that way.  You need to earn respect.

How do you feel, do you respect someone who treats you with no respect?  Do you do your best to respect others?  

What advice have you been given?
