A reflection worthy of being framed and hung in the most visible place on our path through life. 👍
I admire the simplicity with which you tell about such complicated issues of human behavior.
The key words you chose have a very close relationship with each other. Effort and humility earn us the respect of our peers.
Following the line of the anecdote you tell us in your post, I remember when I taught at the municipal university. At that time many students showed me the respect they felt for me. I always believed that the key was in the effort I put into preparing my classes always thinking that the students deserved respect. I was also receptive to their difficulties and was willing to help them overcome them.
How nice to be able to read your sincere reflections! Thank you, my friend, for sharing them. 🧡+🌷
