Why Business Managers are losing their self-respect?



CONTEMPT FOR OTHERS
HUMAN RELATIONS
SELF RESPECT


SELF RESPECT AND CONTEMPT FOR OTHERS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
INSTEAD, THEY ARE MUTUALLY INTERDEPENDENT.

UNDESIRABLE TRAIT: Person with low self respect and high contempt for others. 0,9

Normally, when people read more and more, advance into age, people tend to have a high self esteem and high contempt for others. Actually, it should be low contempt for others.

What did Samuel Johnson say on "some contempt" shown by Milton to others?
QUOTATION FROM SAMUEL JOHNSON

"It appears in all his writings that he had the usual concomitant of great abilities, a lofty and steady confidence in himself, perhaps not without some contempt of others; for scarcely any man ever wrote so much and praised so few. Of his praise he was very frugal, as he set its value high; and considered his mention of a name as a security against the waste of time and a certain preservative from oblivion."

What is the tendency of modern writers?

The modern writers tend to shower praise on others profusely. May be this is born out of a need to get along with people, get things done. The praise is a sort of investment on the praised person, if it becomes necessary to approach him for any help.

Won't frequent praise become flattery?

It is happening now. Nobody takes a praise seriously. Particularly in business. Politicians expect praise and also for money for favours.
