I listen to you, just not hear you,

"that's respect!"

I don't agree with you, but I acknowledge your point of view, "that's respect!"

I greet everyone with positivity and a smile; irrespective of their social, economical or cultural background, "that's respect! "

In an argument, I give a chance to my opponents to voice out their opinion,

"that's respect!"

I might not be an active environmentalist, yet I make sure that I throw the trash in the bin,

" that's respect!"

I don't relate to the age old stories of my grandma, yet I listen to all of it,

"that's respect"!

I sometimes encounter mom's cooking disasters with a smile, "that's respect! "

My failures or my success... Under all circumstances, I keep loving and motivating myself, "that's respect for myself."

So, my adorable learners, let us all respect ourselves and each other to make this world a better place to live in.... Stay safe...
