In this article,
we going to discuss the importance of being honorable or honored by others. Let’s
drive-in with understanding the meaning of honor.
Be honorable to yourself
Simply
‘Honor’ means presenting great respect. So, let us see the first part of the proverb is “Be honorable to yourself.” Here it recommends to respect yourself first,
then be cautious about being apricated by people or not as per the reaming part
of the proverb “if you wish to associate with honorable people.”
It is so
true, if you start with yourself then afterwards you can expect the honor from
your surroundings. If you associate people with dishonor and desert them without
any reasonable logic or context; then hoping honor from these people will honorable
to you that might not be the case.
Honor people to be honored by people
You should
admire people around in your life such as family members, colleagues, friends. Despite
having differences of any kind, if you give them respect then in exchange they
honorable to you.
Life is a journey like a roller-costar ride with ups and downs, dangerous turns and swings.
People’s approach to you may vary with time—some odd day, the situation can be
worse but do not be heated and approach anyone with the disrespectful manner
because of the cause done by you; no one but you may feel regretful later.

will care for your respect too.
