Respect.One Another's Differences
尊重他人与我们的不同。
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.
我们不会听从别人的意见。我们并不接受他人的观点。是什么让交流寸步难行?这主要是因为我们有不同的背景、经验、历史。为了避免误解,我们需要尊重他人与我们的不同。
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,人们需要理解并尊重他人,这是基于对他人不同的尊重之上的。我们有不同的观点,因为我们的背景不同。当你发现他人与你的观点不同时,那你就应该想一想是什么造成了你们之间的分歧。从对方的角度想问题,并试图接纳他人的观点,你会惊讶的发现,你们的观点完全相同。第二,让某人尊重你的观点最好的途径是尊重他人。你或许会明白他人的观点,但可能会不同意他人的想法。如果你有不同的观点,当然,你希望别人能够尊重你的不同观点。我们通常会有意见相左的时候,这是因为我们关注的是观点,而不是说话人本身。尽管我们同意这些话,但是,我们对这些问题还是有不同的解释。所以,尝试来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.
总结,我们看世界的角度和看问题的方法是不一样的。这些不同会很容易让我们产生分歧。避免分歧的第一步就是尊重他人与我们的不同。
