Respect is one factor that speaks much louder than
power in most cases. When you are well respected,be
rest assured that you will command obedience.
So many individuals live a loose life which expose them
to lots of mess. When you are respected,people don’t
refer to you just anyhow,they will be very attentive at
the instant of your cough because they hope to get
informed and inspired through your speech.
This is one major reason
why first impression
matters a lot. Most people
lack the ability of
comporting themselves. At
their first appearance in a
particular place,they talk
anyhow,dress anyhow and
so on without knowing
they are laying a bad
foundation.
Some attributes that one
must possess to command
respect include.
1. Discipline in Speech :-
If you must command respect,you should learn to be a
man of few words but sensible ones. When you talk
too much,you tend to talk out of contest anywhere
you are. Some people all in the name of being jovial
has lost their respect.
This is one major reason
why you should be careful
of giving comments,when
you see people
deliberating on
matters,before you can
contribute,think about
what you want to say so
that your speech won’t
subject you to ridicule.
You must also be careful
when giving answers to
questions.It is not a must
you give answers to all
questions,majorly the one
you do not know or not
sure about because
immediately they quote
that wrong word of yours,it spread wide than the
seas.
2. Dress Conduct :-
I will start by confirming the statement that goes “the
way you dress is the way you are addressed.” The
outward appearance of any individual matters a lot.
You don’t have to block too many colours to look good
or carry on crazy hair do. When you are always decent
in your dressing, people will be attracted to you and
thereby make them respect you.
3. Diligence :-
Also to command respect,you must be good at what
you do. If you are a kind of person that does his work
with intelligence and professionalism,people will
respect you compared to someone who takes things
with levity.
4. Communication:-
When you are outspoken,possess good manner of
approach and have good communication skills,people
will respect you. This is when you are able to relate to
people nicely and value words. When you can easily
express your feelings,people will appreciate your
intellect and want to associate themselves with you
which brings respect.
5. Assertiveness:-
If you must be respected for who you are, you must
learn to take your stand on situations. You don’t have
to be everywhere or go into things out of peer
pressure ,check it out, will it be of importance to you?
If not then say “NO”, when people notice this about
you,they will be careful of the things they bring to your
notice or offer you. This will command respect.
6. A Man of Your Words:-
When no atom of truth can be found in your
words,there is no way you can be respected. When
you are fond of telling lies either in jokes or in
truths,people tends to take you unserious. This will
surely affect the level of respect people have on you.
