Self-Respect    

Self-respect is when we respect ourselves and like who we are! It is very difficult for a person to like other people and respect them, unless they respect themselves and like who they are. When people disrespect others by treating them mean, like calling them names, talking about them, or bully them, they do these things because of how they feel about themselves. They do not like themselves or who they are so they try to make themselves feel better by making others feel bad. So when someone is not showing you respect and treating you mean, remember the things they are saying to you or doing to you is how they feel about themselves.

Then someone that has self respect would never treat themselves bad. They would always try to treat themselves with respect. They would always keep themselves clean, never do anything to hurt themselves like, smoke, drink, or take drugs. They would eat the right foods and get plenty of exercise. They would study hard and apply themselves to get great grades, and strive to be their best at everything they attempt.

How do we learn?

How do we learn?

By studying then doing then practicing.
For most martial artist that strictly means going to class and maybe prating some on our own.

For many that is not enough. For many people they need a source reference be it in writing or on video.

Respect

What is respect? How do we show respect? Who deserves our respect?

The bible defines respect as “Doing unto others as you would have them to do unto you.” This simply means that Respect is “Treating other people the way we would want to be treated.”

There are many ways to show someone respect. Showing respect to others means we are polite to other people. We reply when answering an adult by say “Yes Sir” or “No Ma’am”. We look people in their eyes when they are speaking to us.  We never interrupt someone when they are talking. We do not fight or argue with others. Showing respect can also be how we help others, like by opening the door for someone, or letting an older person have our seat when all are taken. When our parents gives us orders, if we are respectful we always do what they tell us and never talk back.

The people that deserve our respect the most are those that care about us and try to help us. Like your parents, teachers, pastors, karate instructors, and the elderly because many of the things they have done in the past has made things better for us and we have lots that we can learn from them. Whenever we are not sure if we are showing the proper respect to someone, just ask yourself, how would I like others to treat me in this situation.
