Self-Improvement Through Respect A person cannot lead a life of being good and respectful if they cannot live that life themselves. A lot of people now like to be followers instead of standing up and being a leader. People like to learn by example, instead of going through trial and error to figure out what is right and what is wrong. There needs to be good virtuous, hardworking, and courteous that are willing to take the risks in order to lead the others in the right ways of life. This can help one to start on the right foot, headed down the right path to living a happy life and to improve themselves along the way.

A wise man once said, “If you always do the right thing, than there is nothing you should ever feel guilty about”- Lou Fohn. A virtuous person has looked at their own life through a magnifying glass and has changed, or added on to what needs to be done to fix their own life. After fixing themselves then they are able to give advice or give help to someone who asks or in need. Being virtuous isn’t just being a kind and gentle person.

The rule says to treat others the way others should treat you. This can go a long way, if one is having a bad day, woke up late, spilled their coffee on their way out the door then they would probably appreciate a kind gesture to assist them, and same goes if the helper is having a bad day they would appreciate some help. Courtesy goes a long way in life, if one is courteous to others, others will be courteous to
