Respect your elders

It is truly said that ‘a disrespectful person never earns respect for himself. Respect for elders is one of the most important characteristic of any culture.

India too has an ancient culture in which respect for elders holds prime position. Even now, there are numerous joint families that are headed by an elder who may be in his nineties. Though long retired from actively holding the reins of the family, every child and grandchild is well aware of his position at the helm. A father who has taught his son to respect his grandfather can be sure that he will earn the respect of his grandchildren in future.
