Respect

[earthkeyper]

Respect I believe is an act of love. If we all could just learn to Respect each other, we could solve most of the problems that plague our world today. To learn to respect the Earth, ourselves, and each other. Can you imagine what life here would be like?

[danieltheteacher]

I used to be nice to people like you said.. but bosses didn't pay me.. coworkers drinking alcohol on New Year's were not fired (I was fired)... I have stayed home for 5 years now (wife works ..and she too has not been paid days by the school board.. oh it was a mistake they say...but I say 3 times in one school year?) (I just babysit our children).. I'll go back to work when wife buys me a secret pen camera to record the bullies at work. That will be my safety.

[jiaoyinyang]

Overall, I believe this video is GREAT!!

People need to learn from this however at the same time, you can't expect everything to go according to plans. Their are at some point in time that you must fight for the right of cause, but according to my belief and philosophy, it should only be made at the last of moments.

What is truth and real justice?

It is neither good or bad.

It is the balance among all people that needs to be created.

[jiaoyinyang]

I find this rather interesting that this teacher is speaking of something I believe in that the majority of people usually grown out of. This sorta of works however the possible of the effects varies depending on the situation.

I am always the one who believes in respect and trying to create understanding in all my cases. However around June 2010 a change of event occurred that would made me view the whole world differently.

[jiaoyinyang]

I use to a shut-in obsess with my philosophy and ethical h*cking. Reason I became like this is because of how I interpret the world to be as I was growing up. I received threats and misunderstandings all my life. Nobody never ever asked me what I wanted to do with my life or who I really am. Even if so, they never observe me well enough to know exactly what's going on aside from always viewing me badly.

[jiaoyinyang]

When I graduated, I thought everything finally was over.

Yet did I realize that this is only the beginning.

Around June 2010 I happen to fall into a love relationship which impacted my life greatly in a positive and negative way.

Instead of listening to all the people around me as they were telling me not to go, I traveled overseas to Laos to see this girl who I use to believe that truly loved me.

[jiaoyinyang]

It was a big step for me especially since I barely stepped outside. Don't get me wrong, I do, but I'm usually inside the house because I dislike the negative attention I'm use to getting.

Anywaise..

As soon as I went to laos. The girl and her family came to greet me. I stayed with them for a month not knowing that behind my back, I am slowly being brainwashed and dragged to my near deathbed. They were planning to kill me.

[jiaoyinyang]

I hate to say it, but living with her for a month was one of the greatest moment in my life.

I never thought I have that much laughter in me. Usually people would try to talk to me and get me to laugh, but never would anybody forced me into having fun.

Sadly to say, the emotion I thought was real was only of an illusion.

I thought she loved me..

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't..

I don't know and I'm guessing I will never know, but her parents tried to killed me and take my passport away.

[jiaoyinyang]

Near the end of June, the officials came to get me.

I was told to pack up all my belongings and leave with them in their car.

I didn't even know they were the authorities.

I walked into the car as the girl who I thought loved me just looked away without saying goodbye.

I thought I was done for as soon as they told me that they were told of my crimes.

[jiaoyinyang]

Thankfully, I later found out that these people were sent to get me from a relative of mine in France who I didn't even know of very well at that time. I found out that the girl's parents falsely accused me of committing a crime and I also found out that they been trying to kill me from behind. If the higher power in Laos wasn't a distant relative of mine. I would of been killed and perhaps with a false reason. Thank goodness I made my escape back to the states and proved my innocents.

[jiaoyinyang]

I had the choice on rather to forgive this girl for ruining my life even more or throw her in jail.

Instead of during anything that I know I would one day regret, I letted her go along with her parents peacefully.

Forgiveness is what must be done in this world to bring forth the good.

Nobody is born corrupted.

People just happen to lost their way in life because of hope.

[jiaoyinyang]

It is because of this forgiveness.

I was showed some respect from alot of people when I happen to approach Laos a second time attempting to find a wife. I suppose they did this to me only because they wanted my money. If they have just asked, I probably would give to them. They didn't need to play with my emotions to get me to care for them.

[jiaoyinyang]

Please don't be offended as I am trying to speak in metaphors though it might not sound like it, but from my understanding..

People in the lower class will always have a certain view of the upper class regardless of if it's positive or negative. Sometimes this prevents misunderstandings and because of the events taken place in one's life they might end up being blinded from the goods.

[jiaoyinyang]

2nd time I arrived in Laos..

damn what a case that was, but my story is too long so I won't explain it, but..

[jiaoyinyang]

It just goes to show that in this world, their are some people who are blinded from the goods.

Their are some people who believes that by committing a bad deed, they might eventually get somewhere in life which I sorta of do understand, but everything varies. Their is no right and wrong. Their is only balance and it is up to the people of this world to create that balance and understanding.

[jiaoyinyang]

I'm not saying people should go off and do bad things.

I'm not saying people should be too good because it might backfire, but..

I'm saying people needs to be cautious on whatever they happen to do in life even if whatever they seem to be doing is threat-less. Their will always be a possibility in manipulating one's feeling to transform a bad person to a good person. Their will always be right and wrong however depending on the case and belief the answer to what you seek will always vary.

[lukaqota]

School must not be like a prison but like a second home.

[Arcadia453]

Wow that was amazing and so inspirational. Thank you so much.

[moma126]

I would love to have you as my daily teacher :)... This positive influence is just simply wonderful, from all the videos I have seen on YouTube you are one of the best. It brings peace to the soul.... Thank u!

[Omega3chimp]

Its cause you told him he looked responsible if you told him he looked stupid he would act stupid.

[Ribcagehacksaw]

If everyone thought how you did or at least tried to, there would be world peace. Solved. You are a humble genius, Thank you for your wisdom.

[sonofpissjuice]

I want to be your student baby

[TruthBeyond]

Perhaps he was just attracted to you?

[Mare83254]

you're a good person.

[roporolo]

i think you'd be a really good teacher. fancying mentoring me in how to be a good manager? could you do a video on how to be a good effective manager an get the most out of people?

[Macmahon6340]

Gosh !!! hey is that you ?

I know this gal

She shared her number @ DateHerSafe[`]com/profile?=326­9

[themanyone]

One of the cool things about on-line video games is you get to try on different characters. They call it role-playing. Of course there's a lot of immature players and I was never very social, but just for kicks, I decided to be really cordial and respectful with this one character and he became very popular, resulting in several real-life friendships. The problem with popularity is you have to type a lot and keep in touch with lots of people, which is painful if you have CTS. :(

[namealreadytaken1000]

very recognisable. What you describe is kinda how i view karma, you get back what you hand out, either directly or indirectly.

each situation where you have a choice between reacting angry or kind is an opportunity to make the world a bit more negative or a bit more and positive.

Even if the person you are nice to doesnt do the same, its still better then being mean yourself, that certainly wont make things better.

Btw, your first roses from a student? american men must be sleepyheads ;-)

[Dennio83]

oh and btw. Caroline, you have a very very annoying "S"

[phxfreddy]

.... lefty feel good craaap. sometimes this respect thing works and sometimes not. Unfortunately she takes it as a religion.

[phxfreddy]

the technical term is "bonehead"

[ceh333]

Sounds like this boy had a crush on you. It would have been a different story if you had been a gay man.

[AzoreanProud]

lol maybe

[sabahavra]

sometimes you respect people and you become nice to them but they take advantages from you.

why is that?

[xRobelax]

Good question, I've also have had that, been nice to someone over and over again, but still treated as if i was beneath them, so now I'm distancing myself from them.

[Chamelionroses]

You must be around the wrong people. Just respect them and walk away.

Can't please jerks.

[dness92]

so true

[RealPauper]

Because some people are self-centered, they don't know better. They don't consider others feelings, or how their actions effect others around them.

[AzoreanProud]

big ego, not conscious, the empathy/comparation capacity.

[RealPauper]

How true ... :-D ... some (most) people don't do it intentionally, it's just that they're so caught up in the drama of their own struggle that they forget to look outward and see at how their behavior/actions affect those around them.

[Osias1983]

I've seen that happen to friends of mine. The trick is to be nice to people, but also show that you're not going to bend over backwards for them. A friend of mine just helped people too much and they used her over time. I told her to try saying "no" sometimes, even if she was able to help. After a while, they either appreciated her more or just stopped asking.

[phishhead11]

it's the whole machiavellian thing....is is better to be feared or loved? feared, and you run the rish of people rebelling against you--fighting fire with fire...be too nice to everyone and they will find any oppertunity to take advantage of your penchant for being too nice

[yellowcougar18]

Happens to me a fair bit. Alot of the time, I help people, and I get quite a huge amount of help back and forth. We help each other out.

On the other hand, I help others out, they take advantage and crap all over me. Eventually I just decide "To heck with this, life's too short" and move on.

I like these vids. She seems like a positive person. I have met so many helpful, positive people that it surprises me. I always try to do good by them in return.

[Dennio83]

The ppl that're crapping afterwards are not your friends.

Everybody knows the saying "You still have to meet your real friends", its when you realy need help, true friends will comply and stay at your side until you are good again. The rest, as far as I concern, will burn in hell. And no, Im not religious.

[yellowcougar18]

Oh yeah, I totally discover that they are not my friends after helping them, even though I knew they were not my friends before. Hence I give up helping them, and never help again. People I do help, who are good friends, help me out to the bitter end.

[scottymcclain]

Love your work! I feel like going out and hugging someone.

[onecoolmom2008]

I agree with your attitude, Caroline.

I was new to a professional organization and, not knowing anyone, I set myself out to befriend everyone who was at my table, but most especially one particular colleague who everyone regarded as the most difficult to get along with. I in fact treated him with respect, before long, we found each other working on a project. Now we're very good friends and has since become more personable.

[babicho93]

This has really enlightened me.

I'm touched.

[samgluck55]

Respect for others is a good thing, but there are different kinds of respect, respect for a rattle snake means staying away from it, be a little careful, because some wounded souls out there, mistake kindness and respect for weakness or even stupidity, and their first inclination is to attack perceived weakness, so use a bit of caution, and take a little time to get to know people before trusting them

[ligyro]

i think the kid is messing with you. he made it hard on you so that you hate him first, then he can win you over and thereby you think he has value. truth is he's a piece of shit

[audadvnc]

My job is to assist people in setup for meetings; one day I happened to be about to leave, and a client came in to setup for the next day, so I stuck around and helped him set up. Turns out he was brand new at computers, he'd just bought all this great new gear and didn't know how to work it. So I tutored him for just a few minutes to get him up and going. His relief was palpable - he'd come in nervous & uptight, and was completely relaxed by the end of the setup day. It was a success.

[dreamdanni]

I accept. I want people to like me, so I'll start out tomorrow morning saying I like people and get back to you.

peace

Danni

[kushibia]

that's great!

[theinternetscholar]

Do unto others as you would like done unto you, simply do good . . . or at least . . .

Do not do unto others as you would not like done unto you, simply don't do bad

[AMPxitup]

I accept your challenge.

:]

[faszika]

youre one hot chick =D

[SSparks555]

One can not demand respect, they have to earn it...

[questioneverything8]

I approached a neighbor teacher much like you, told him my son was going to be held back because he was immature, because of his teacher's recommendation. Being well seasoned in his field, he said, put him with mature students and he will learn to be mature, hold him back and he will remain immature. I went with that good advice and never regretted it. Thank you for your inspiring story.

[akfuzero]

How many bong hits did you take before making this video?

[HydrOxyBoost]

Well, That was a really nice story on respect.

Now, how about doing nice things to others without expecting anything in return.

That might be called the sharing of Unconditional Love.

;0)

[grantwparks]

My story: at 18 I had the great fortune of being a YMCA daycamp counselor in Santa Maria, CA for foster kids who had been abused. The other counselors, all being veterans, told me I was in for a rough time - I had a 10 yr old boy named Marcus in my group who was hyperactive, misbehaving, etc. Every morning we had to line up quietly. I put Marcus in charge of getting everyone lined up, my sergeant. He became respectful of authority and order. The other counselors were amazed.

[Alohadr]

Oh My God! You are such an ingaging speaker, lot's of sagitarian sparkle and abundant love for humanity, the grass is greener and the glass half full. Thank you for your service to humanity. You go girl, are you married?

[tjfnee88]

I'm trying to figure out what, exactly, makes you think you have "wisdom"? What have you done in your life to become wise? You certainly are not well educated to any extent; that is obvious from the video. It is also apparent that you are someone who is heavily influenced by pop culture. The world is a place of brute fact and survival of the fittest; you silly, childish words of (non) wisdom are meaningless.

[psychetruth]

I'm trying to figure out what exactly makes you think you have "wisdom"? What have you done in your life to become wise? You certainly are not well educated to any extent; that is obvious from your comment.

You are an idiot. This woman had Ph.D. in Science Education and was a University Professor for 20 years.

[SiliconBong]

You need a hug.

[malakhhatzadik]

That's only the Western world where priorities are misplaced and where life and wisdom are devalued. The concept of "survival of the fittest" is foreign to most cultures and their paradigms.

[elgaed42]

Realism is important, but cynicism is just negative degeneration and will not get one anywhere.

[Din0might7]

@tjfnee88 Education and Wisdom are not the same thing. Wisdom is gaining knowledge threw experience. Education is just learning what others have learned. When you have as much wisdom as Thomas Edison, a man with only 3 months education in his intire life, then you may be wise. Your education makes you unwise because it feeds your ego. If you knew that you could see that this ladies principals have merrit. She is speaking from her experience, and that is why she is wise.

[Zukaros]

Just for the sake of my own curiosity, how would you react towards a person that agrees with this rule but is distructive and wishes for nothing else except chaos and strife with others. What would be you'r opinion on such a person?

[dragongrill76]

Love and Compassion to all being, because at the end its all that matters.

[only1duk]

I would respect you if I was in school and you told me you respected me! I'd also be very confused! YOU ARE HOT.

[paulpoulter]

Precisely - I think the incident with the roses needs some deeper thought!

[Juggaloserialeater]

One time i was really nice to this girl and she rejected me and called me a loser

[psychetruth]

Well, why did she perceive you as a loser? Do you somehow project an image that makes girls think you are a loser?

[Juggaloserialeater]

Hmm no I dont think so I just think she had her own problems.

[psychetruth]

You are probably right. She certainly wasn't treating others like she would like to be treated.

[msintrprttd]

what kind of advice do you give to pushovers?

[tasha122277]

you are my role model miss teacher

[slc139]

is your point that GTG should show her viewers some respect by ANSWERING the questions we all have? Like, "Why did she cheat with the autorefresher to gain views with her fist 10 second video"? GTG just doesn't seem to want to go there... so NO respect for her.

[Bombellih]

You are a wonderful woman!

[Bombellih]

You sound like one of the greatest teachers, I have ever experienced. If only I had a teacher like you it would be a miracle!

[MontysMarket]

I could listen to her for hours!

[sRowTL985]

Caroline is so interesting. I love hearing her talk. This is a great video, too.

[womenarecunts]

Did you change channel names? Recently?

[psychetruth]

yep yep. This is the new channel.

[treemouse101]

i like what your doing, run with it

[psychetruth]

Thanks for the comment. Please subscribe, I have lots more videos of Caroline coming.

[listeningriffin]

studies have shown if teachers expect more from students, they rise to the challenge. expecting misbehavior and disrespect gets you just that. its not easy to stay strong when people are difficult, but keep the faith and give everyone that opportunity!

[pinkpandit]

Thank you for posting this, as a new teacher i also have heard negative advice from colleges about lower level students and my goal was to prove differently. I suceeded in my goal too!
