Taking part each September, Respect Day has been created to encourage people to focus more on ways in which they can be respectful to others. For many the day involves being more attentive to loved ones, but it can really be used as a catalyst for treating any people with a more polite approach. There are no rules surrounding ways in which you could celebrate this year, it’s really down to you. You could take your wife or husband out for a romantic meal, you could visit an elderly relative or you could endeavour to be more encouraging to others.
It gets me when people say that you have to earn respect. If that was the case we'd be telling strangers to fluff off from the get go. Everyone in my book sets off with 100 % respect. It's up to them how quickly it is lost.
