National Respect Day is observed on September 18 every year to highlight the importance of people showing respect to each other. The word respect may seem small literally, but its importance is huge. Everyone wants people to respect and honor him. But one thing must be admitted, to get respect from others it is very important to respect others.
If you don’t respect someone yourself, then expecting respect from someone is like imagining the moon on a new moon night. If you disrespect someone, you will never get respect for yourself. No matter how big a position you hold in the country, your yardstick is you and your character. If you think of yourself as a big person in a high position or some temporary achievement, then it is a serious mistake.
While asserting one’s greatness, people respect others to some degree. But the words and expressions on a person’s face will show whether he/she respects others or not. People may pretend to give respect from the front, but they will never get the respect that comes from the heart. It’s like looking at your image in the mirror. The way you stand in front of the mirror will reflect exactly what you do. Likewise, respect and honor given to others will be reflected to you.

History of National Respect Day
From childhood, we are taught to respect each other, from parents to cows, teachers are all respecting each other and even the country is taught to respect each other. Teenagers know, know, and feel the world anew at this age. Listening to them with mutual respect and attention during that time is one of the keys to a healthy relationship. It is not always the child who will have the role because of disharmony or distance from the parents.
Rather, in some cases, parents are oppressive, wanting to maintain dominance. There the problem begins. As children grow up, the way they are treated needs to change. Respect is very important. The most important thing in maintaining a relationship is mutual respect and mutual respect. Tolerance makes relationships last longer.
Say it in the family and say it in politics, mutual respect is needed everywhere. Justice, equality, and tolerance prevail when there is mutual respect. Most of this focus came from the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who took up the issue of respect by insisting that individuals maintain respect and dignity for one another, which became a central idea of political humanism and the family. National Respect Day is observed every year for this purpose.
Significance of National Respect Day
A happy, peaceful family is what we all want. No matter what we do outside, at the end of the day, we have to return home. Back home, we want to see the smiling face of the wife, the compassionate behavior of the husband, the shadow of the parents’ affection, and the cheerfulness of the child – where all become one with the resonance of tranquility.
But for whatever reason everyone is alone in the family – the warmth of the relationship, the passion seems to be disappearing. The distance between parents and children is increasing, he/she is alone behind closed doors. Even from husband-and-wife side by side, the distance of mind is deep. A major reason for this is that we are too reticent to give others the respect they deserve. Everyone should be respected regardless of age. It also applies to children.
Any wrongdoing of the child or any of his faults should not be mentioned in front of others. This affects his self-esteem and creates resentment toward his/her parents. Respect and love for people and respect and one of virtues are that people respect people.

How to celebrate National Respect Day?
Every person in the world wants to be respected. Respect is a precious asset for a man. If others respect you, you are a worthwhile person even if you have nothing. Many rich and powerful people are not happy despite having so much power or money, because they know that people do not respect them. Once the power or money is gone, no one will look back at them.
Some people have no power in the general sense, and no money but everyone respects and loves them. When you respect others, you will get respect. National Respect Day is celebrated every year to encourage people to respect others. Now let’s know how to celebrate National Respect Day-
Keep your word
The first condition to be respected by people is to keep your word. If you promise to do something for someone, you must do it. If you can’t do it alone, then you should make alternative arrangements and apologize sincerely.
If you don’t talk to a person more than once or to everyone occasionally, you will lose people’s trust and respect for you. So, think carefully before giving your word, whether it is possible for you to keep it or not. If not possible, don’t forget to promise. As much as the person will suffer because you say no. If you say yes and then don’t do it, it will hurt more. And honor will be lost. If you made a promise to someone and asked them to keep it, try to keep it today on National Respect Day.
Admit and correct mistakes
Some people take responsibility on their shoulders even if they do not make mistakes, while some people do not want to admit their faults even if they have committed hundreds of mistakes. Attempts to place the blame on the situation or other people. If this trait is once noticed by others, they will lose respect for them forever.
Admitting fault without making a mistake is weakness, not admitting it after making a mistake is a sign of greater weakness. No one trusts, and respects, such people. If you have wronged or wronged someone, then on National Respect Day today, admit your mistake and make amends.
Respect the opinions of others
Every person in the world has a different way of thinking. Every person sees everything from his own point of view. Don’t try to prove someone wrong unless you agree with them. Listen to him/her carefully. Try to understand the arguments. Then state your arguments. Don’t forget to take personal jabs or make fun of his/her lack of knowledge to his/her face. It is very insulting to people. Don’t forget to try to belittle anyone, especially when discussing with many people.
Way to get respect
To get respect from others, someone else must respect. If you have any bad habits try to get rid of them. Many of us are not aware of some of the bad habits that cause us to lose the respect of others. We make many mistakes without my knowledge. Let’s know some ways to get respect on National Respect Day-
Do something that helps people
Are Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Jack Ma only respected for their money and prestige? Certainly not! They have done something that has benefited many people. They have made people’s lives easier. Changed the face of the world positively. Their lives and works inspire people and encourage them to move forward. They have achieved as well as given.
Which made them respectable people. There are many billionaires in the world. Drug dealers, corrupt people, and smugglers, also own a lot of money and power. So, to earn real respect, do something for people that directly or indirectly benefits them.
Don’t waste other people’s time
When you value other people’s time, others will value your time. Never be late for an appointment. Go ahead and wait if necessary. Don’t waste time on idle talk when you go to work with someone and don’t waste time when you see someone busy at work. It will strengthen your personality, and people will value your words and actions more.
Everyone respects individual people. Being personable doesn’t mean being serious all the time. Being personable means matching your words with your actions, and not wasting others and your own time on worthless activities.
Don’t comment without knowing, and keep quiet if necessary
There is no shame in knowing little or nothing about something. People don’t mind it either. You know more about yours than ten other people know about their work or studies. Commenting on something without knowledge means you don’t have enough respect for your abilities. And when people realize that you are commenting on something without knowing it, you will become even smaller in their eyes.
On the other hand, if you keep quiet, they will respect your personality. The best way to gain respect in any discussion is to talk about what you know. And shut up about what you don’t know. When asked about something you don’t know, frankly admit your ignorance. It will reveal your courage and confidence. You will become respected in the eyes of others.
Don’t be arrogant
You can have a lot. You can be a very skilled and talented person. But if you look down on others and show pride for that, you will never get true respect from others. There is nothing wrong with feeling worthy of respect and believing in your worth. But bragging about it and belittling others is pride Arrogance means your ego is ruling you. Never indulge the ego.
Be honest
A man’s honesty is one of the ways he gets respect from others. If you have any responsibility, fulfill it with full honesty. According to the position or responsibility, perform your duties exactly as you should, then your position and work will match and others will respect you sincerely.
Match words and actions
You must be clear in your thinking in every matter and reflect that thought in every action. If you say to your face that you don’t like to use your power unfairly, let it show in your actions. People will lose respect for you if words and actions are not matched. Make your words a reality with honesty.
Always try to improve your knowledge and skills
Just as it is always necessary to increase one’s knowledge and skills for career and financial advancement, it is also important to gain respect from others. When you regularly increase your knowledge and skills, you will be able to positively influence various discussions and tasks.
When you demonstrate knowledge and skills in your work and personal spheres, it will serve as a way for you to gain respect. People will trust your opinions and decisions, and they will value you more.
Always speak the truth and show courage
By lying about, yourself or many other things, you may gain the respect of others, but you also know that you do not deserve that respect. And the truth will come out sooner or later. No one has been able to hide the truth to date. Respect gained by lies turns to hatred as soon as the truth is revealed. People won’t even look back at you. No one respects ‘oppressive’ people.
Stay positive and inspire others
No one wants to be around pessimistic people and no one respects them. Stay optimistic at all times no matter how hard times are in your life. Listen to other people’s words of hope when they speak of despair in front of you. Encourage rather than discourage. Doing so will make others come to you feeling good about themselves and boost their confidence.
