Self -Respect

In today's society, many people are concerned with matters of self-


esteem. In fact, people are paying too much attention to self-esteem and
neglecting another crucial concept, self-respect. To have self-respect
means to accept you. Not only must we turn our negatives into positives,
but we must also accept our lives as they are. Once you gain self-respect,
you will be happy with who you are. In order to achieve this goal, you
must accept your family, yourself, and your imitations. 

Once in a while, you might feel ashamed about your family. For example,
when parents dress like they are in the 70s or they aren't as liberal as
other parents; some might feel embarrassed to show up with them.
Whatever it is that they do, you must remember that they love you no
matter what. Having a caring family is sometimes hard to find. When you
are confronted with a hurtful situation, they are always there to help you
get through your dilemma.

Whatever goal you set for yourself, your family will be your greatest
support. Being aware that you have people who love you and care for
you unconditionally should give you a sense of belonging, which is a
great feeling of comfort and brings you a step closer to self-respect.

Everyone has something that they do not like about themselves.


Whether it's their looks, personality, or mentality, people must always
remember that everyone is special in their own unique way. Although it
sounds cliché, there is always at least one special skill that each and
every person is good at. It is always good to try to be the best at
whatever skill you are good at. When people bring you down, remember
that nobody is perfect. Keeping a positive attitude helps you see life in a
brighter light.
It is a fact, that even the wealthiest people have something they don't
own or can't do. You should not dislike yourself for that, nor should it be
a reason to limit yourself to other things. Not being able to do something
perfect.
Quaid –e- Azam

Jinnah was the role model. The principles he had owned up and
practiced during his long political career, and, moreover, because of the
equivalence of his behavior pattern and politics with his stated
principles throughout his public life.

He made the following guidelines:

i) ... everyone... no matter to what community he belongs, ... no matter


what his colour, caste or creed, is first, second and last a citizen of this
state with equal rights, privileges and obligations... we are all citizens
and equal citizens of one state.

ii)... always be guided by the principles of justice and fair play, without
any... prejudice or ill-will,... partiality or favoritism.”

iii)... the evil of nepotism and jobbery ... must be crushed relentlessly ...
Never tolerate any kind of jobbery, nepotism or any influence directly or
indirectly...

IV) One of the biggest curses... is bribery and corruption. We must put
that down with an iron hand...” This includes political bribery and
corruption and saleable loyalty as well, which have corroded our entire
political system and institutional structures, and have spawned the
present political crisis.)
The core principle he had stood for is that of clean, honest and unstained
politics. Even when he had established himself at the bar, he refused to enter
politics until he had saved “enough”, so that he did not have to live off politics.
To him, politics was not meant to secure power and pelf, but to serve the
community and the country. He spent his own personal funds to finance his
political activities (including travel, boarding and lodging).

He cancelled the orders for a Lincoln (car) and for an aircraft because
Pakistan could not afford to pay for them. For the same reason, he would not
go in for installing a lift in the Governor-General House despite his old age.
Also, he would see that the lights were put off before he had himself retired to
his bedroom.
