Respect


Respect


Respect means a lot of different things. On a practical level it seems to include taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. We might also say it means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings, etc. It also seems to include acknowledging them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting their individuality and idiosyncrasies.


Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow.

What is Character?

"Character  is a diamond that scratches every other stone"
Cyrus A. Bartol




Our Character Is Who We Are

Abraham Lincoln said, "Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree." Our character is not just what we try to display for others to see, it is who we are even when no one is watching. Good character is doing the right thing because it is right to do what is right.

How are they be built into a persons life. Can they be changed?

If you and I were to make a list of good "character qualities," or "character traits," our list would probably include such words as honesty, integrity, dependability, loyalty, enthusiasm, etc. And, of course, there are many more that could be added.


How does character affect our lives?

It has been said that CHARACTER is the foundation for all true success. A person may have money, position, or power, but unless he has "good" character he or she is not considered to be truly successful.

Character Determines Success

We do not often think of character as having such a direct effect on our successes or failures. But when we consider the individual qualities that together make up a person's character, we can easily see that it is true. Character Really Does Determine Success. The World Needs Better Character


The World Needs Better Character
How does character affect the world around us?


Today’s world faces many difficult problems. Escalating crime, drug and alcohol abuse, workplace violence, gang activity, vandalism, school dropouts, deteriorating work ethics, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, racial tensions, broken families ... The list seems endless.
