Hello everyone and welcome back to the 8X Invest Channel!
Have you ever wondered why some people are always respected and admired, while others are ignored or even looked down upon? Do you find yourself speaking but no one seems to care, or worse, being undervalued?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! There are many reasons why you may not be respected, and fortunately, there are also many ways to change that.
In this video, we will explore some common mistakes in behavior, habits, and daily actions that cause you to lose self-worth and make others look down on you.
Let’s start with the first tip: Gratitude.
Have you thanked someone today? Expressing gratitude is incredibly important, showing respect and appreciation. A sincere thank you, no matter how small, can bring joy and connect people.
From a young age, we are taught the importance of saying thank you when helped. A heartfelt thank you will make the helper feel appreciated and make you appear courteous and refined in their eyes.
Remember, “Manners cost nothing.” Choose your words wisely to please each other.
Do you remember the story of the parking attendant? It’s regrettable that many people often rely on status to look down on others, and they don’t hesitate to show it by lacking respect, such as not saying thank you to those they consider “beneath them.”
Think about whether you’ve ever made this mistake. Even if it’s their job and they’re paid to do it, your thank you shows appreciation and makes you stand out in the crowd.
Try saying thank you to the parking attendant, the server at the restaurant, or anyone who helps you, and you’ll notice the difference in how they perceive you.
Remember, respect is essential for building good relationships and achieving success in life.

Avoid being overly curious about other people’s affairs.
Have you ever witnessed Americans gathering around a traffic accident just to gossip? Or seen groups of Americans discussing other people’s private lives at a coffee shop?
The answer is likely “no.” Americans value privacy and respect personal boundaries. They are uncomfortable with others meddling in personal matters, and excessive curiosity can make them feel uneasy and disrespected.
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, 72% of Americans believe that respecting privacy is “very important.” They believe that everyone has the right to control their personal information, and no one has the right to intrude without consent.
The overly curious behavior of some people can lead to negative consequences:
– Inflicting harm on others: Sharing someone’s personal information without consent can hurt and embarrass them.
– Eroding trust: When you’re curious about other people’s affairs and share that information with others, you may lose their trust.
– Creating conflicts: Discussing other people’s affairs can lead to misunderstandings and unwarranted conflicts.
Remember, everyone has the right to privacy, and we should respect that. Instead of being curious about other people’s affairs, focus on your own life and build healthy relationships based on trust and respect.
Maintain silence in public places.
There’s a common stereotype that Americans are loud and lack restraint in public places. However, the reality isn’t entirely like that.
Americans value politeness and respect for those around them, and they often keep quiet in public places like elevators, libraries, and waiting rooms. According to a study by the University of California, Berkeley, the average noise level in American cities is significantly lower than in other places. This shows that Americans are conscious of preserving quietness for those around them.
Speaking loudly in public can lead to several inconveniences:
– Disturbing others: Loud noise can make those around you difficult to concentrate, relax, or rest.
– Disrupting focus: Noise can make it hard for people to focus on work or study.
– Creating a sense of disrespect: Speaking loudly can be seen as disrespectful to those around you.
Remember, public places are for everyone. Keep quiet and respect the tranquility of those around you to create a civilized and comfortable environment for everyone.
By avoiding being overly curious about other people’s affairs and maintaining silence in public places, you can show respect for those around you and build an image of a civilized, polite individual in their eyes.
Always respond to phone messages.
You’re in an important meeting and your high school friend calls? What would you do?
If you’re busy, quickly text them back letting them know you’ll call them back as soon as possible. Letting others “hang” with a long “Seen” notification is extremely disrespectful.
Remember, in the US, responding to messages is seen as basic courtesy. Even if you don’t want to talk or don’t know what to say, use emojis or punctuation marks to show interest. Ignoring messages not only shows disrespect but also makes you seem cold and distant.
Always maintain the habit of responding to messages promptly to make a good impression on everyone.
Stop boasting and bragging.
The ancient saying “There are three things in life that cannot be hidden” still holds true:
– Boasting about oneself.
– Criticizing others’ shortcomings.
– Bragging about future plans.
Instead of boasting, let your success speak for itself. Truly talented and successful people are always humble and rarely boast about themselves. They understand that humility is the key to gaining respect and appreciation from others.
Learn to honor others and let them speak for themselves about their own accomplishments. Remember, “A ripe grain bends low, a full ear droops.”
By applying these smart behavior tips, you’ll gradually build the image of a polite, respectful, and trustworthy person, thereby attracting the love and appreciation of everyone around you.

– “Loneliness is not scary; only those who fear loneliness waste a lifetime of happiness.”
– Remove the “trash” from your life to welcome in better things.
Confidently say “NO”.
– Fear of rejection is something everyone experiences.

– Don’t hesitate to refuse for many reasons: being busy, other priorities, or simply not wanting to.
– Politely declining shows respect for yourself and your time.
– Instead of making promises you can’t keep, be honest and firm.
– Some useful tips:

Remember, you have every right to choose and deserve respect.
Wishing you success in building good relationships and a happy life!
Stop seeking approval from others.
– From a young age, we’re accustomed to seeking recognition from parents, friends to affirm ourselves. However, in the US, independence and autonomy are highly valued.
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, 72% of Americans believe that happiness is the most important thing in life.
Therefore, instead of chasing after others’ measures of success, focus on what brings you joy and fulfillment.
For example:
– Instead of trying to buy a house before 30 just because “everyone else is doing it,” take the time to travel, learn new things, or pursue your passions.
– Don’t hesitate to say “no” to advice or requests that don’t align with your goals.
– Have confidence in yourself and your choices, regardless of what others think.
Always respect yourself:
Self-respect is the foundation of confidence and success.
According to the American Psychological Association, low self-esteem can lead to many mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
Here are some ways to boost self-esteem:
– List your strengths and achievements. Reminding yourself of what you’ve accomplished can help you feel more confident.
– Focus on the positive aspects of your life. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, take time to appreciate the good things in your life.
– Set goals and achieve them. Accomplishing goals can make you feel competent and confident.
– Surround yourself with positive and supportive people. People who trust and encourage you can help you feel better about yourself.
Remember, you deserve respect and love, no matter who you are or what you’ve done.
By focusing on self-respect and living according to your own values, you can build a happy and fulfilling life.
Additionally, you can refer to some real-life statistics and examples:
– According to a study by the University of California, Berkeley, people with high self-esteem tend to be more successful in their careers and relationships.
– Another study by Harvard University found that people with high self-esteem have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
Wishing you success!
Learn not to envy.
When your neighbor buys a new car, do you feel jealous? If your husband gives you a new iPhone X Max, do you feel envious? Envy is like a virus, affecting your thoughts and actions. It drains your energy without any benefit. If you spend your life envying others for being more successful, advancing further, or solving problems better than you, you will never progress. Avoiding jealousy of others’ success or belittling them won’t make you more admirable. Instead, replace envy with admiration for others’ success and wealth. That’s one of the secrets to gaining respect, and perhaps one day, you will achieve what you admire.
Always maintain a positive attitude.
Live positively to make life more positive. Failure and success are both parts of life. By maintaining a positive attitude, you will achieve success and overcome difficulties. 10% of life is about what you create, while the remaining 90% is about how you think and feel. If you’re scolded by your boss, consider it a lesson your boss taught you and continue working happily. If you bump into someone while walking, smile and forgive them. When you’re on your way to work and it starts raining, think that the rain will make the journey more comfortable. Donald Trump once said, “The difference between a winner and a loser is how they handle life’s turning points.” If you succeed, there’s no reason why people wouldn’t respect and cherish you.
Strong Belief and Self-Determination.
– Don’t hesitate, just keep moving forward! Success comes after 7 failures. Sometimes you may wonder about the direction of your life, whether you’ve made the right choices or not. Remember, any path leads to success as long as you persevere and trust your own choices. This is the most important thing to remember. Confucius once said: “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” A determined and principled person will always be respected and admired by others. Life is truly exciting only when you dare to face challenges. Be brave in making choices, accept risks, embrace new experiences, and always believe in yourself.
Building Confidence
– Confidence manifests itself in every situation! Confidence is a key factor in life and work. However, confidence is not innate but needs to be cultivated over time. Confident people always attract attention and trust from others. You can enhance your confidence in daily communication by:
– Dressing neatly, politely, and appropriately for the occasion.
– Making eye contact and maintaining an upright posture when speaking to others.
– Displaying positive gestures, open body language, and smiling frequently.
– When praised, sincerely thank and compliment the person back.
– Reading books and watching videos to improve knowledge and skills.
Remember, confidence is the key to unlocking the door to success and happiness. Apply the above advice to boost your confidence and shine in all areas of life!
Dare to Pursue Passion, Passion Will Lead You to Success!
Don’t rush to chase fleeting illusions like money, fame, or status. We are often drawn to grand dreams: becoming wealthy, famous, making a difference. But then, fatigue and disillusionment gradually creep in, causing us to give up halfway. So, what truly drives you forward?
Steve Jobs once shared: “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.” When you work with passion, you radiate positive energy, inspiring those around you. That positive energy will propel you to achieve success faster, and you will soon reap worthy rewards. At that point, you will earn respect and admiration from others.
Be courageous in pursuing your passion! Don’t worry about failure; see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. When you are truly passionate, you will have enough strength to overcome all obstacles and achieve your goals.
Remember: Success is not the destination, but the journey. Enjoy the journey of pursuing your passion, and you will reap wonderful rewards!
