Repelling Disrespect At All Cost
Ever been in that situation when something disrespectful happens and you didn't react, you being your regular nice self didn't react to the occurence but your body was really red hot and a lot of nasty scenario begins to play in your head and gradually steals your peace, your appetite, your happiness and you become so moody and bitter for sometime until you forget. I always ask the question of why would you allow yourself get disrespected, should you react there and then what are the possible outcomes that are expected, which would you prefer to be home feeling more in your right or be home feeling disrespected and bitter.
Some people are so insensitive, they would hurt your feelings and still feel good, it's your responsibility to own your happiness, don't permit what you don't like. You can't fully predict anyone, as we humans are not machines, we can only study and hope the person would be good in return, well should the individual be bad , then its best to cut off and move on. Believe me some people are best related to as strangers from afar because the moment you become so hospitable to accommodate, you'll have to start putting up with so many bad attitudes and they might be too full of themselves to adjust.
When someone decide to go out of his or her boundaries to cause something you're not pleased with, then is the best time to correct it, what you don't like you don't accept, this way the person is aware of your dislike for such attitude and just find a way to adjust. This first stating of your stand should be done in love and co respect, not one to offend anyone, but your sincerity is shown, for instance Your brother took your car out for a drive without first letting you know - hey bro I want to step out, can I get your keys?, but maybe out of your close relationship, he just did it. Well judging on a family basis, there's no crime here, moreover you guys have been sharing for a long time now.
This doesn't stop the fact that you might not be pleased with such actions, so when he returns, you clearly state the obvious,bro you didn't tell me before you zoomed off, I know its not bad, but next time do let me know first, I'm serious. With a calmer facial expression, this way you have create a rule, and since you're in possession, any faulter to the rule, you have a claim to reacts more angrily. So many things we experience day in and out that are not so much to out liking, yet we absorb it such that it makes us mad inner, its best to release of the heat at an early stage before it becomes unbearable.
One clear mistake people make that would later make it seem like they are at fault, is not cutting excesses off at the grassroots, hoping the next person would supernaturally change his or her attitude, well it doesn't quite happen so, also after stating their faults you dislike, it doesn't mean they would or should change, you're simply saying this is bad and I don't like it, so they'll know not to exhibit such around you next time, but it's still their choice though, you've just done your part.
A too smiling boss is bound to be taken for granted, because everyone wants to draw close, and should the boss be too accommodating then all kind of personalities would have access as since everyone is in a quest of who would get more favours from the boss, then expect various nasty and unpleasant exhibition, that might cost the boss his respect at least. More reason why most bosses that have been long in the game are currently regarded as being strict, but in actuality when you draw closer to them you'll notice they're really fun. But for the effectiveness of the job and efficiency of the workers, undistracted and well behaved, such attitude is needed to bring serenity to the workplace.
Some time you smile too much, and people feel they can do anything and you'll just laugh it off, this being too nice nature is not so good in the long run, it's better to be good by doing the right thing than being nice and going the wrong route. Soldiers are good but not nice, teachers ought to be good but not nice, because being good might warrant you taking some tough decision, even against everyone just because its the right thing to do like rejecting of bribe, but being nice means always going out of your way trying to please everyone, well for how long? Its a rather impossible act to continue and when you stop eventually, be ready to be hated. Lol.
I especially dislike when a parent is being too nice to caution the excesses of their kid, training up a child is not an easy job though, but if the bible could advise against sparing the rod and spoiling the child, while you're yet in this house, some things should be rather unacceptable, and yes they should be scared of being disciplined. Children and mostly teenagers are bound to make mistakes and the mind is filled with a lot of things to try out, to this fact every parent should sit up, don't smile too much to cause a go ahead. A little folding of hands and shame might be approaching soon. Some of the issues we face presently can and should have been easily curb and stopped.
Happy Sunday pals, don't allow disrespect from anyone and don't disrespect anyone too.
