----------------------------------- rainbow1 03.12.2007, 15:11 RAINBOW MOMENTS ----------------------------------- When I learn to respect myself, other people will respect me. How can I develop respect for myself? By keeping my mind positive and encouraging myself to grow and change for the better. Demanding respect because of my position or background is simply arrogance. On the other hand, listening with humility and valuing other people's advise naturally earns me respect. I get back exactly what I give out. ----------------------------------- char1984 04.12.2007, 05:50 ----------------------------------- :D :D I agree so very true.Nice one Rainbow :D :D ----------------------------------- ALW111 04.12.2007, 11:55 ----------------------------------- A very good Rainbow Moment. Thank you rainbow1 ----------------------------------- royalblush 05.12.2007, 03:46 ----------------------------------- You hit the nail on the head, rainbow! So so so true! P.S. We really appreciate your contributions here! Does us all so much good. Kinda like having a chaplain for our forum! royalblush ----------------------------------- ALW111 05.12.2007, 04:03 ----------------------------------- I agree wholeheartedly. A simple thank you isn't nearly enough for what I've taken from these many wonderful rainbow moments ----------------------------------- royalblush 05.12.2007, 04:12 ----------------------------------- I always like to read your posts, too, ALW. Just like rainbow's, they always make me think -- and that is a very good thing! About demanding respect: It would never work. But COMMANDING it means earning it and that is so much better for everybody --the respected AND the respectors! Just a thought of my own. royalblush ----------------------------------- ALW111 05.12.2007, 04:17 ----------------------------------- And an excellent thought it is, I agree totally. I would despise anyone who demanded respect or thought it was their right to have it. ----------------------------------- royalblush 05.12.2007, 04:21 ----------------------------------- We are in agreement there, my friend! royalblush ----------------------------------- ALW111 05.12.2007, 04:29 ----------------------------------- I keep saying it, but I've forgotten how many rainbow moments have led a discussion.
