Respect is earned over time, while most people commands it.
Like a merit, it takes a person long, often painful, and hard work, to establish credibility in any field of endeavor. This rule goes beyond protocols, not just table manners.
If one aspires to be a leader, a parent, a coach, a counselor, then be prepared to be challenged for your credibility. And often, credibility and respect goes hand in hand.
You cannot earn the respect of your people and peers if you don't have credibility. You can't have credibility if you have not earned the respect of your peers or people. Both are simply must haves in any situation.
Often, getting a point across in fewer words would be the wiser choice. And today I want to do such. It makes the meal more palatable. The reading more enjoyable. And certainly the message more tenable.

"Let your yes be yes and your no be no". A plain, simple, and clear truth from the Scriptures that earns both respect and credibility.
