Respect Should Be Your Mantra

We throw the word “respect” around like a Frisbee, but nobody pays much attention to what it really means.
When you respect, you appreciate, cherish, honor, and admire.
In essence, you look up to the person. That doesn’t mean that you look down at yourself and hold him in higher esteem. Instead, it means that you honor who he is. With “respect” comes the complete consciousness and awareness of the other person. You need to always be aware of his time. That means when he says he has to go, let him go. Don’t keep him.
When people say they’re going to accomplish something no matter how large or small the project is, respect them enough to assume that they will accomplish what they said they would accomplish. Don’t give any reasons why it can’t be done. Don’t even think about negating or diluting what they said.
