it is all about respect

Respect has great importance in everyday life. As children we are taught to respect our parents, teachers, and elders, school rules and traffic laws, family and cultural traditions, other people's feelings and rights, our country's flag and leaders, the truth and people's differing opinions. We may also learn that how our lives go depends every bit as much on whether we respect ourselves. The value of self-respect may be something we can take for granted, or we may discover how very important it is when our self-respect is threatened, or we lose it and have to work to regain it, or we have to struggle to develop or maintain it in a hostile environment. It is part of everyday wisdom that respect and self-respect are deeply connected, that it is difficult if not impossible both to respect others if we don't respect ourselves and to respect ourselves if others don't respect us.

Respect also lingers on one's privacy. If u don't respect others privacy, you are really hated. How to overcome the situation when your privacy is looked down by others? Well, it is hard right? Should or should not you just simply express directly or just zip your mouth and stay where your butt are. Aigoo. We are humans. You are taught by respect from childhood. Don't be cold-hearted and just being selfish.

Fuh, letih lah nk speaking. hahah.

Ckp pasal respect kan, my mom sgt3 tekankan soal ni dlm hidup sehari2. My mom is very 'cengeng' u know. Pantang ade anak dara tapi x sopan, x bersih, pemalas and whatnot. K fine, ak x se'perfect' mana. Tp tahu x, ape yg mak kte ajar tu lah yg akan kte bawak ke mana2. Like her common sentence,

"Kau kat rumah bolehlah nk bermalas2an. Baju ke mana pinggan ke mana. Kau dah duduk rumah org nanti kalau org xsuka org xkan nk ckp depan2 punye. Sekali org xsuke bila kau dah buat baik nanti org xnmpk tau. Sebab perangai yg negatif tu lah org sibuk2 nk ungkit2. Kalau terus dgn perangai mcm ni jgn harap org nk buat kau jd menantu"

Paham x. Mendalam gak ar. Rumah org tu boleh gak dirujuk pada rumah mertua. Once dah pegi rumah mertua, sekali kau wat silap mmg org dah pandg lain arr. So, kalau dah camtu, kte kenalah latih2 diri supaya tidak bermalas2an dan kte juga kena respect pada diri sendiri. Kite nk buat org respek kt kite, kite kene respek diri sendiri dulu. Ini kerja rumah pon tak tahu buat jgn harap la nk duduk dgn mertua lebih2 lg dpt yg cengeng dan cerewet mcm my mom.

Sampai hari ni, ak xkan lupa satu benda ni. Citenye, aku balik sekolah satu hari. lapar beruk dah perut ni. x sempat bukak stokin ak dah tepis tudung saji cedok2 nasi makan x pandang keliling dah ni. tetiba je rasa telinga ni terbakar jap.
"kau ni berapa hari x mkan? entah nmpak ke x mama kat tepi nih. entah tahu ke tidak mama dah makan ke belum ke. berat sgt ke mulut tu nk tny? blablabla. makan sorg2 x ingat org. blablabla. pentingkan diri blabla..."
peh. pedas gila. sejak hari tu ak kalau makan mest ringan mulut tny "jom la makan sekali". even ak da tau mereka dah melantak segala mak nenek. bcoz that's what they call respect. nah. learnt a lesson.

kdg2 ade gak bunyik camni,
"kau xleh tutup kuat2 lagi ke pintu tu?"
wowwow. jgn sekali2 hayun pintu sesedap rasa okeh. pantang beliau. ak pon mmg smpai skrg jgn harap nk dgr ak hempas pintu. x sopan kn rasanya?

sebab tu kite perlukan org tua dlm hidup kite. utk guide kite sepanjang hidup ni. sbb kite sentiasa kena belajar. my mom kalau sesapa bgun lewat lebih dr pukul 9 alamatnya mmg minum air free sebaldi ar atas katil. kdg2 x dpt air kosong air soya pon jadi. dare her. lagi, beliau sgt pantang kalau beliau di dapor anak dara boleh tgok2 tb besarkan bontot. fuh. pantang lah mak haku. pe lg? huhu. byk ar. kadg2 pikir gak. ade ke mak org lain perngai cam mak ak ni ha? ntoh. ak tgok rilek je kwn2 ak bila mak gi kursus, hari pegi kursus tu manis je ah jemur kain tp bila mak balik dari kursus 3 hari kemudian tgok still baju yg jemur 3 hari lepas kat ampaian lg. wuhhuu. gile heaven. kalau my mom mmg die akan hempok dgn kata2 bisa r.. tp pecayelah. itu semua untuk kebaikan kite. hari demi hari ak tahu nk uruskn rumhtangga hasil dr didikan beliau yg cenge. heheh.

mmg byk sgt ak blajar. from there i learn to respect others. bkn respect je. adab2 sopan pon. dua2 berkait rapat sgt3. i never being selfish. but kdg2 tertanya2 jugak kan. kita bkn main respect org tp org x reti pulak nk respect kite. k fine. asalkan kita respect sama diri kita sudah. byk nk cite sal respect ni. mendalam sgt. ak just ambil contoh dr pengalaman hidup dan situasi di sekeliling.

To respect a person is not possible! Change your attitude and your mind.
Still, there is a value to respect which money can't buy. Though someone's life might not depend on it, there are times, many times in fact, when another person has the chance to make a personal decision - a judgment call.!
Think about it pal.
