Art of Respecting

Respecting someone means to pay full attention to others and agree to disagree. For example, even though others have different opinion or at time diverting from the points of discussion, we should respect his views and give him the due respect he deserved. However, in practice many of us might have forgetten this especially when you are in no mood of listening to others' arguement or you might have lost your temper and patient. This is commonly found in the work place or any where. That's why art of respecting is important and a thing to be learned with passion and professionally. It is not a matter of knowing when, where and whom should we respect but rather to practice it all the time. It should be a value system amongst all walk of life. How repellion a student is, he should respect his teachers even though he might not agree with what the teachers have taught. In reciprocal, the teachers should respect their students as someone tries to acquire knowledge. The teachers should not view students that tend to ask frequent questions and to question his authority on answering the questions. Simiarly, the relationship between bosses and subordinates required mutual respect. The case of bosses know everything and hence you should not have objecting to my views is no more valid in the modern day and a flatted world. I learned the true meaning of mutual respecting during a judges evaluation session held last week. The judges put in various marks based on their individual assessment. However, it was discovered later that standard diversion of the mark for a participating organisation is higher than the acceptable level. Further investigation shown that it was all because of a particular judge who has given marks with vast different point. Looking this as the source of problem, the others asked that judge for her opinion and enquired the possibility of reviewing her mark. The judge refused with reason. Other decided to respect her decision and look for other solutions. One of the solutions was to exclude the mark of that judge in which the judge agreed so. To me, this is an art of respecting. While the panel of judges respecting that individual judge's assessment, that individual judge agreed to put aside her own assessment without hesistation for the sake of marking system. Under such circumstances many might have walking away angrily or a heated arguement might have started.
