Respect.One Another's Differences
尊重他人與我們的不同。
We hear, but we don't listen. We don't absorb the points being made. What causes this breakdown in communication? It's simply because we have different backgrounds, experiences, and histories. To counter and prevent misunderstanding we need to respect each other's differences.
我們不會聽從別人的意見。我們并不接受他人的觀點。是什么讓交流寸步難行?這主要是因為我們有不同的背景、經驗、歷史。為了避免誤解,我們需要尊重他人與我們的不同。
Firstly, our need to be understood and appreciated should be based on the knowledge of other people's differences. We have different points of view because of our different backgrounds. When you feel yourself disagreeing with someone, ask yourself how his world view differs from yours. Putting yourself in his shoes and trying to understand his point of view, you may be surprised to learn you are in complete agreement. Secondly, the best way to get others to respect your beliefs is by respecting theirs. You may understand their point but still disagree with it. If you opinion is different, of course, you want others to respect your right to disagree. Often disagreements arise because we focus on the words being used instead of focusing on the speaker. Although we understand these words, we interpret them differently. So it is useful trying to understand and respect the person.
首先,人們需要理解并尊重他人,這是基于對他人不同的尊重之上的。我們有不同的觀點,因為我們的背景不同。當你發現他人與你的觀點不同時,那你就應該想一想是什么造成了你們之間的分歧。從對方的角度想問題,并試圖接納他人的觀點,你會驚訝的發現,你們的觀點完全相同。第二,讓某人尊重你的觀點最好的途徑是尊重他人。你或許會明白他人的觀點,但可能會不同意他人的想法。如果你有不同的觀點,當然,你希望別人能夠尊重你的不同觀點。我們通常會有意見相左的時候,這是因為我們關注的是觀點,而不是說話人本身。盡管我們同意這些話,但是,我們對這些問題還是有不同的解釋。所以,嘗試來理解和尊重他人是非常有用的。
To conclude, the way we view the world and interpret events differs. These differences easily lead to conflicts. The first step toward eliminating misunderstanding is to respect other people's differences and beliefs.
總結,我們看世界的角度和看問題的方法是不一樣的。這些不同會很容易讓我們產生分歧。避免分歧的第一步就是尊重他人與我們的不同。
