We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us everything to their kindness and love.
When we them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of our own love and gratitude to them. , elders have also been through all the years you are and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their .
With changing times and influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should express their views and if there are arguments, they should not their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are to give up their places to older people. This is not a of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a disadvantage. When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

Now, please understand that we have no written service rules lost photos in the park. , the clerk at the front desk Disney’s idea of caring for our . She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of film, promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.
Two weeks later the guest received a at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show, signed by each performer. There were also of the public procession(游行队伍) and fireworks in the park, taken by the front desk clerk in her own after work. I happened to know this because this guest wrote us a letter.

All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most of them are friendly. But this man was different.
”How much do you make a week, boy?“ he asked me. I felt he was at me.
He kept taking a sharp look round every now and then. All the time I kept wondering where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew I'd seen his picture in the post office many times. He was a big robber： by the police in three states!
"You know，" he was saying，"it's imagination people lack. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy. ”
I kept brushing away at his shoes as as I could. The sooner I finished the better. He said，“When I was sixteen, I had made $2 500 of my own. ”
That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2 500 or $ 5 000 or $ 25 000? I wasn't . I knew a big reward was afforded for him.
What could I do about it? Hit him with a can of shoe polish? If only someone would come in!
He kept talking away， “Along with imagination, it takes courage—the courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring. ”
Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey coming across the street. Then, really fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.
The policeman was at the window when I cried out，” Officer Dailey， ！ This man's a robber. 99
“ ，” the man shouted angrily. He star-ted to jump off the stand. It didn't go the he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked him-self out cold.
“That was pretty clever of you，” the officer said. "You'll get a reward of $ 7 500 for him. ”
“Well, it really wasn't my idea，” I said. “It was his. He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something big on a shoe-string. ”
