Being kind doesn’t cost a thing, does it? Have you ever wondered why someone has responded in a way they have, have you gone to this organisation and the receptionist asks you "what do you want?" It may not be exactly that but almost to that. Let’s be honest not everyone who comes to your company is looking for a job and even if they were it doesn’t change your status by talking to them nicely after all you once looked for a job, let’s say it’s not that case for you, someone called you up to take up this job in your uncle’s company but being nice to people is more rewarding than anything in this life, mark me well when I say being nice.
Truly great people usually do not feel important, they make others feel important, indeed this is true, have you realized that people with less money, less confidence, less respect, less education, less love are the one who will treat the others as less important. They will try to make others feel low so that they can feel more educated, respected, and confident but that’s not always the case in fact its shows how you lack those attributes you crave to acquire at the cost others, so before you bark at your maid just because your friends have come to visit you, remember that you are portraying the opposite of what you what to portray. Think twice before you abuse your employee, a junior at work or even your spouse, you think that by barking, abusing and insulting them will make you look strong, important or better than them, for your information
such characters are a clear sign of weakness, let’s try to respect the people for who they are not for what they are or possess.
Being kind is a suitable accessory in every occasion at all times, at work, home in traffic jam, in a taxi. Even when you are crossed with someone, insulting and shouting at them is not a wise thing to do because it lowers you. A piece of advice to those who have a person with such characteristics, don’t react in the same way or emulate their behavior, don’t stoop to their level in fact if there’s anything that will have you two go through the hills and mountains of the situation wherever you are when he shouts at you, barks at you,
reply with a very soft response. If you are in the wrong humbly apologise if none of the above is needed shallow it and walk away when he is done with the insulting, barking and shouting, He will realise how worthless it is to shout.
I must confess some people need to be reminded that you are a human being not a dog, that you are mature not a kid, it may be your spouse or your hard-hitting boss, tell him you don’t want the way he treats you, you will not lose your job or marriage I promise if it is meant to be yours. Why is that so many people want to be feared rather than being respected, folks respect is earned and you ought to respect others if you want to be to be respected, remember the inner man is the measure of a man and the inner man is not revealed in the possessions of someone but in how he treats others. You can force someone to fear you but you can never force someone to respect you. You have to earn it.
