I chose this article because I liked it so much and also there are lots useful advices which will be very useful for our life if we can do them. For example, people respect people who do what they say so in order to be respected we should do everything that we said. If we do what we say then people respect us and also they will believe us. In the article it says that if person does not respect his own words then it is senseless to expect that other people’s respect. I totally agree with that idea because like everyone else I also have some experiences about it; for example, one of my friends did not come the time which she said that she would come and then the next time I were late as I know that she would come late than she said. Moreover, the article says powerphrases are short that is keep your sentences short and direct, then people will respect you more. If one keeps his or her sentences short then the listener will not be bored and he or she will pay more attention. Also people need to say some kind of things directly if they cannot do or do not want to do. For example, if one of your friend invites you to the bar but you do not want to go then in order saying sorry I have another things to do even you do not, then it will be better saying I do not want to go to the bar but we can go together to cinema. Furthermore, one of the most important things for getting respect is people’s outlook, I mean, self-esteem how they express themselves while talking with other people and also their closing. People pay attention to the closes during the talk like is his or her closes are tidy or clean and so on.
To sum up, people should pay attention both their words and outlook in order to get respect as it is written in the article. I recommend you to read that article then you will be informed more widely about this topic. In short, after this reading I hope we can win people’s respect very easily.

  1. Hello! I liked your ideas about this article. I also chose to write about it, because it was a fantastic article to read. To get respect, firstly you should respect yourself. I also liked your creative example about being direct and honest. Thirdly, it's really important to care about your outfit. I mean, it's nothing about wearing expensive clothes, but wearing proper, neat, clean and comfortable clothes, it is really important. I really liked your article and pictures that you used. Thanks for sharing us :)
