Be Respectful: Motivation for All
Have you ever felt like you were disrespected or your work was discredited? I have but I also have been caught being disrespectful. You never know what someone has sacrificed to care for you or share with you. So, before you’re embarrassed like me, let’s talk about being respectful!
