Respect Yourself

The hardest battle that you have is the one with yourself. When you are abroad, there may be chances that you find someone better than you. It could be in athletics or academics or their oration skills. It could be anything. There might be chances that you fail in some test or someone insults you. may be it is not what they intended to do, but it might hurt you. what to do next? Leave the place and come back home? Or feel sad about it and ruin the entire fun of study abroad.

Have a self esteem. Yes, this is something that can help you. you need to know yourself. You need to respect yourself. Of course there will be people better than you. why not? You are now standing in a global picture after all. People all across the world are there. but have you heard of the old adage,” Flowers never compete, they just blossom”. This is exactly what you need to do. Respect the person better than you, but respect yourself as well. try hard to improve, make yourself better, day by day.

Also, some people tend to confuse respect and listening orders as the same thing. But the fact is they are different. It might be the case that you gave some advice to some one and they did not followed it. Don’t take these things to heart. After all you never know them better. Similarly, you need not to take every advice seriously or follow it. People do give advice, you need to figure out if it works for you. After all no one knows you better than yourself.

Respect yourself, others and your decisions. Remember, all you need to be is sincere and listen to your heart, every thing else falls into place.
