Respect Is Earned
Just to give a prologue for this poem. I have an officemate who seems to love making a big fuss out of something so small. She's always in a high-pitched voice whenever her command was not being obeyed properly. She would shame you in front of an audience. But I tell you, she's not a boss, but she always act like one. She loves to bully a person by comparing herself, like she's always the best, like she's the perfect one, and all others are just behind her. I have experienced her bullying actions many times over. I have cried a lot of times. But I always act professionally, because I will never, ever stoop down to her level. For all who have experienced the same, and for all who are doing the same, this one's for all of you. Just remember that Karma is doing his work very well. So here it goes:
RESPECT IS EARNED
They say how you treat others tell your personality
And there will never be respect without humility
Good manners and politeness will define you differently
Because a person's a person, no matter how small they may be.
Speak up nicely when you have smart and valuable ideas
Have a broad mind to embrace our differences and uniqueness
Because a person's feeling could never be a solid rock
That you can throw over and over again, and never gets hurt.
The golden rule always tell it's important lesson
Teaching us to value each and every creatures
Because in the eyes of GOD we are all His treasures
No one is perfect, but we are all valuable to the nation.
Respect is earned, and it will never be given
So treat others the way you want to be treated
You can always say it nicely, politely and humbly
Believe me, blessings will come your way indefinitely!
