Integrity is a Key Ingredient to Building Respect
June 1, 2008
A person is only as good as their word. While this phrase is often used, people often underestimate the power of the phrase and the principle of integrity. At Robinson’s Karate Schools, we have a framework of principles that are reviewed each day including courtesy, modesty and integrity. Each day, students are taught that their words and actions are a reflection of their character and can affect their relationships with others.
Students quickly realize that people judge them based on their actions. They learn that their “actions speak louder than words” and thus it becomes important for them to demonstrate a higher moral code and to hold themselves to a high standard. As students demonstrate these skills, they begin to earn the trust and respect of others and strengthen the bonds between their peers. This strong bond amongst students develops a strong team that further helps students accelerate their abilities to succeed at all activities in their life including school, sports and at home.
It’s important to understand that respect is earned, not demanded and when you are trying to earn the respect and trust of others, showing a strong integrity in your character will take you a long way.
