Pirke Avot - 4:1 Ben Zoma says:
Who is wise? He who learns from every person...
Who is brave? He who overcomes his evil inclinations...
Who is rich? He who is happy with what he has...
Who is respected? He who respects his fellow man...
Who is wise? He who learns from every person...
Who is brave? He who overcomes his evil inclinations...
Who is rich? He who is happy with what he has...
Who is respected? He who respects his fellow man...
Ben Zoma tells us that a wise person might not know more than anyone else, that someone rich may not have a lot of money, that a mighty person might not be physically strong, and that a person we honor might not be a hero or an award winner.
Ben Zoma teaches us that these good qualities are about the way a person respects other people, and gets respect in return. When a person acts with respect to others, he or she earns respect in return.
What do you do to earn your good name?
What do you do to show respect to others?
What do you do to earn respect from others?
