Task 4

Respect VS Fear

“Respect can be defined as a positive feeling of esteem for a person or entity. It denotes the regard and consideration shown by an individual towards others.” (preservearticles)

To me, respect means that you listen to someone’s ideas and telling the people that you are good at what you. To respect someone, is not to assume that they are invincible, because that is idol worship, but to be their friend if they need it, to be able to put petty disagreements in the past, to follow their wishes if you have prayed and know it is in their best interest, due to knowledge gained from God. That kind of respect is what is important to me. Respect given for injuring oneself or breaking a rule is fake, faulty, and will not stand the test of time. Real Respect is a state in which you do not defile anyone or anything for your sake because you must give of yourself to. Inorder to gain respect one should always give respect to the other person as well.

“Fear is an emotional state in the presence, or anticipation of a dangerous stimulus. Often it becomes intense like anger. Fear means being afraid of or panic.” (preservearticles)

 Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. The words such as dread, fright, alarm, panic, and terror, are essentially all terms that express different levels of fear. Fear is the most general term and implies anxiety and loss of courage. Everyone on the face of the earth has experienced this emotion. As a living being we all have fear; it might be a problem or it might be different elements  that brings fear to peoples mind. what i belive peronally is that  fear are stories that we tell ourselves. A purer emotion. emotion which we belive as  becoming sacred or not being able to speak up or tell to anyone. The real fact is tha it's simply the recognition that someone or something has the potential to harm you, and nothing more. It doesn't involve the complex mix of attraction than fear.

Respect always involves at least a bit of low level fear or at least the potential for it. That is, one cannot feel true respect someone or something that isn't capable of adversely affecting him. Respect also has other ingredients. It's kind of like liking and fearing someone at the same time.

As respect and fear both are emotions which have the sentiments value. Where respect needs to be earn and fear is something that one should overcome at time.

Task 3

Confidence vs Arrogance  

As Zig Ziglar a famous corporate trainer and motivational speaker said “You cannot perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” I believe that most of us immediately know when we come across a confident person or an arrogant person but we all have different thoughts about what constitutes this.

To me confidence in everyday life can be quite a mixture of effect as  people don’t need to make big displays of ‘confidence’ to prove how assured they are. Beliving in yourself having faith that says “YES” i can do it shows the confidence wthin . Being confident dose not refer to envy but having a will power to speaking for yourself and for other people can be called confidence. One should always belive in itself; thats the power which makes you realize taht you are confident

As for I belive arrogance it can be said as rash, dismissive behaviour that appears to show you putting yourself on a pedestal over whoever else you are talking to. Showing off stuffs and making belive others by  at their own will or liberty is an aroogant personality. It’s a kind of overbearing pride that in most cases alienates you from the people around you.

Confidence and arrogance both involve believing in one’s abilities.  A person who is confident understands they have certain areas of strength.  Confidence is rooted in one’s ability to accept them.  A confident person accepts their weaknesses or faults, even though they may not like them.  This acceptance enables the confident person to handle faults with grace and without further compacting the areas of weakness with arrogance. It can be a strength or weakness of a person coming to confidence and arrogance. These are key points when understanding confidence vs. arrogance.
