Respect, Responsibility, and Our Lives
Respect is for me the most important value and the basis of the
other ones, including responsibility, as when you do all your tasks and deliver them on
time, which tells about how respectful you are, but why are they so important for you to be successful?
In general, all values are important, but for being
successful these two are essential. Not only at the moment of having a job, but
also in the moment of having a family or even friends.
In the case of
respect if you don’t accept or discriminate others the way they are, you can’t
be on the top of a company or someone to be looked up to, trusted or even loved.
On the other side, responsibility is not something to leave behind, since you have to
deliver everything on time, as when you go to a family meeting.
Also, if you want to
be respected, you have to give respect to others too. In my opinion, you have to
be a role model for others, and for you to be one, you need to have these two values
at least. Sometimes, because of laziness, we forget or simply we don’t want to be
responsible; however, in real life, responsibility is necessary for being a successful
person or to even feel good with yourself.
On respecting, we as
humans , are not used or don’t like things that
are different, even if you
believe it or not, that is an excuse for some people to be disrespectful. In my
opinion, that is dumb actually, I think that if the person is not harming you
in any way, you should not be disrespectful because in your life (Or in any
situation) you would find people of every ethnicity, sex, age, race, etc; for
instance, if you want to be successful you have to accept and tolerate everyone
for feeling well and being on the top.
Successfulness is not something that needs hard work, but is no so easy to achieve, though with these two values everything is possible.
