How to respect others

The communication between people should be based on sincerity and respect. Only when people respect others can they respect themselves and win the respect of others.

Respecting others is not only an attitude, but also an ability and virtue. This requires putting yourself in others' shoes, giving them face and maintaining their dignity.

1960 former British prime minister Harold Macmillan, who was elected president of Oxford university, made four suggestions on interpersonal communication:

1. Try to make others right;

2. Choose "kindness" instead of "correctness";

3. Turn criticism into tolerance and respect;

4. Avoid nitpicking.

These suggestions can be said to be made around "respect".

In a sense, it is an incompetent and selfish mistake to expose or vent directly without disguise, which will only worsen the incident and lead to an unhappy ending for everyone. Covering up is not hypocrisy, but choosing the right language and time to do the right thing; On the other hand, people who have nothing to hide are bound to be unable to get along happily and harmoniously with others. Don't criticize others' shortcomings regardless of their feelings, don't hurt others with sharp words, don't make fun of others or feel disdain for others. These are all manifestations of disrespect for others, and they are also a big obstacle for you to communicate with others happily.

Only by respecting others can we respect ourselves.
