Respect

Respect is a term many of us use but few of us understand. Many times we fall into the trap of using this word and directing it to a title or a position, instead of a person. A person, who has a title or a position, deserves and should get our attention, because of the knowledge they have acquired on a particular subject. It is only after a person has been shown to possess the qualities and attributes we admire, would they earn our respect. The key word here is earn.
