[spiritual wisdom] respect everyone, even if he is far inferior to you
Respect is a discipline. To know how to respect others is to respect yourself, and to sow confidence, kindness and generosity in the hearts of others. Respect for others is a kind of understanding, a kind of virtue, a kind of chic, a kind of honesty.
Therefore, respect everyone, even if he is far inferior to you.
He was vexed by a very rich man who was not respected by others.
One day when I went to the street, I saw a beggar in rags and threw a shiny gold coin into his broken bowl, but the beggar was so busy catching lice that he ignored it. The rich man couldn't help getting angry: can't you see that I gave you gold coins?
The beggar still did not look up and replied, "whether you give it or not is your business. If you are not happy, you can take it back." The rich man was furious, so he lost ten gold coins in the bowl, but the beggar still ignored him.
The rich man jumped up and said, "I'll give you all my property. Are you willing to respect me?"
The beggar laughed and said, "if you give me your property, you will become a beggar and I will become a rich man." Why should I respect you? "
In life, there are always some people let others respect him, but he can not get the respect of others, this is why? Yes, it's because he doesn't know how to respect others. So, if you want to be respected by others, you must first learn to respect others.
Shortly after World War I, there was a young performer on the street of Paris, France. He played one beautiful tune after another on the violin, which attracted many pedestrians to stop and listen.
The young man, from Norway, traveled thousands of miles to apply for the Paris Conservatory of Music, but was unlucky not to be admitted. In this big city, the money he brought was quickly used up, so he had to earn some money with his talents to make ends meet. At the end of the song, people put money into the money box.
An aristocratic young man happened to be passing by with his girlfriend. He saw that his girlfriend was very interested in the violinist and was full of praise and jealousy, so he wanted to humiliate the violinist. He deliberately threw the money at the violinist's feet, turned around and left.
As a result, before he could take a step, the violinist bent down to pick up the money, called the aristocratic youth and said, "Sir, you have lost your money." Pass the money while talking.
The aristocratic young man took the money with disdain, threw it back at the violinist's feet and said impolitely, "I've already given it to you. This is your money." The violinist looked at him and immediately bowed, "Thank you, sir, for your assistance!" Just now you dropped your money on the floor. I picked it up for you. Now that my money is on the ground, please help me pick it up! The people around them could not take their eyes off, and the aristocratic young man was so ashamed that he bent down and helplessly picked up the money from under the violinist's feet and put it into the violin box.
A man in the crowd smiled and nodded. He was also attracted by the melodious sound of the violinist and saw the whole story. And he happens to be a professor at the Paris Conservatory of Music.
Soon after, he took the violinist back to the college and solemnly recommended it to the dean. The dean gave the young man a chance to retake the exam, and he was finally admitted.
The Norwegian youth was named Bill Sardine and later became a famous Norwegian musician.
Everyone has dignity, and everyone must maintain their own dignity as well as the dignity of others. Dignity is the bottom line for everyone's survival. No matter whether the social role is humble or noble, everyone has inalienable dignity. To bend down is to safeguard one's own dignity. The purpose of bowing is to safeguard one's dignity.
In life, no matter what we do, we must know how to respect others. Only in this way, others will respect you. A person who learns to respect others can be regarded as a wise man.
A writer once said that being respected by others is a kind of happiness, and being able to respect others is even greater happiness. If you want to be a happy person, you must know how to respect others.
In our life, everyone needs the respect and recognition of others. When you take the initiative to respect others and give them sincerity, warmth and encouragement, they will treat you in the same way.
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do to others, for this is the law and the prophets. Too 7:12
