Up, Down, All Around

- - Uncategorized

If you only honor “up” (authority figures, bosses, people who are above you), that’s not really honor… that’s called brown-nosing.

Yes—we believe in honoring up, but it can’t stop there.

We honor up, we honor down, we honor all around.

Another way to think about honoring is “to give dignity”.

Giving dignity is particularly important when honoring those who are in a lower place than you.

Perhaps the hardest “honor pill” to swallow is honoring all around…

Honoring all around means honoring those who are in the same boat as you are, your friends, your peers… the competition.

When you think of honor, remember: up, down, all around.

Missing honor in some direction?

Here’s a quick diagnosis:

If you can’t honor up, you’re struggling with authority issues.
If you can’t honor down, you’re a self-important, elitist snob.
If you can’t honor all around, your out-of-control competitiveness will eventually cause you to be friendless.
