As a leader of the country, he was a well known respected man. This is Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces and then elected as president for two terms. Eisenhower gave respect to others and expected it in return.
I speak to everyone in the same way, "We are sun and moon, dear friend;
whether he is the garbage man or the we are sea and land.
president of the university." - Albert Einstein It is not our purpose to become each other; (Goodreads, 2015) it is to recognize each other,
to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is:
each the others other's opposite and complement."
-Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund (Goodreads, 2015)

I chose these two quotes because respect is an important character and role that everyone has to play in life. People should treat other people with respect in order to get it in return.
Respect
Respect can be shown by doing small things We can all appreciate the comfort it brings Giving it is something only you can decide What gets in the way is something called pride People forget that others have feelings Being rude and insensitive in their dealings Choosing gossip over communication Hurting others with their fabrication The bullying that we see in schools In adulthood, makes us look like fools This is not the way things should be Instead we can opt for courtesy Our differences need not lead to yelling The way we handle ourselves is quite telling Do we have what it takes to put others first? Or, are we just going to quench our own thirst? A thirst for having things our own way Can prevent making someone else's day Should respect be given only when it's deserved? Or, should we focus on the peace preserved? I chose this poem because I learned something new from it. I learned that I have to respect everyone and everything no matter what the thing or who the person is. |
