HOW TO GAIN RESPECT?

Respect

You can be well respected by others by conducting yourself positively, by your attitudes, behaviors and your actions. Today I like to share 11 important ways as follows on how you can be a well-respected person:

1. Be Good at What You Do. In every field of work, the most highly regarded people are those who are the best at what they do. Everyone loves competent people, especially those who present their best work all the time.

2. Respect Others. Respect is  two way. If you want others to respect you, you’ve to respect others first. 

3. Honor What You Say. No one likes a dishonest or unreliable person. I believe integrity is the first step to being your highest self. You always ensure, you live up to your commitments and deliver beyond what you promise.

4. Be Open to Criticism. Contrary to popular belief, being respected doesn’t mean you won’t receive criticism. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The more known you are in your work, the more criticisms you are likely to receive. People respect someone who is able to handle negative feedback and turn it into something positive.

5. Treat Yourself With Respect. Act with utmost respect toward yourself. Your study habits, what you do with your spare time, what outside interests you have and many similar factors reveal what you think about yourself. If you don’t respect yourself, you can’t hope to get respect from others. Start off by loving yourself. The love from others will come subsequently.

6. Conduct Yourself Professionally. This includes dressing well, being well-mannered, using appropriate language and having social etiquette's.

7. Don’t Bad Mouth Others. Whether it’s in a professional or social setting, it’s not appropriate to bad mouth people. You certainly don’t earn respect this way. If you’re unhappy with a certain individual and what he/she is doing, talk to him/her and work things out. Don’t talk behind his/her back.

8. Stand Up for What You Believe In. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. At the same time, make sure you do it in a respectful manner to others.

9. Be Yourself. Be yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. It’s better to be an original version of yourself than an exact duplicate of someone else.

10. Be a Good Human Being. Actions speak louder than words. The most respected person is the one who inspires others to achieve their best and enables them to unlock their highest potential.

11. Show that You Can Make Good Choices. Take the initiative to handle your work. Do the responsible thing without having to be told or reminded to do so every time. Your attitude and behavior are two important factors in whether other people will respect you or not.

Be confirm, If we can follow the above statements, we will be respected by others for sure.
