Rules of Endearment
My dear friends, Al Salam 3alekum
Today I thought of writing these rules to my youngster brothers and sisters, rules of endearment First of all, let me explain the meaning of the term 'endearment' Endearment is the noun form, its verb is 'to endear'. You usually use the term endear in this way To endear yourself to somebody; it means to 'to cause someone to be liked by someone'. So, if you 'endear yourself to someone', it means you make someone like you, or do something so that someone would like you In Arabic it means يُحبّب المرء نفسه عند أحد، أو يجعل من نفسه محبوباً لدى أحد The noun is Endearment, while the adjective is Endearing Example: Sultan wanted to move to another office, but his senior officer refused. Therefore, Sultan tried to endear himself to his boss by praising his favorite team, and his attempt paid off eventually Now you know why these rules are so important that I've decided to write about today You might ask yourselves: "But endearment shouldn't have any rules, they should be living within us and we should practice them spontaneously", and you would be right on that However, I noticed often that people just make others dislike them just because they lack what I call 'Rules of Endearment'; and believe me results could be disastrous sometimes, especially when loved ones are involved Al right, since I've introduced the subject to you all, I will shortly begin with the first of my Rules of Endearment Watch this space for it Regards

Rule no.1 : Respect
Rule no.1 is Respect
Respect has a magical effect on establishing and reinforcing relationships, hence endearing one to others My own definition of Respect is quite simple: To do what others like and avoid what they dislike, that is what I do to my dear ones However, in order to successfully be respectful to others, one should first respect himself, or have what is called self-respect The need to respect others come from the basic idea of equality, that which states that we all are equal and no one is better than another; that's basically speaking of course, because there are factors which differentiate one person from another The biggest mistake one can make is to accidentally be disrespectful to others, or do something what others dislike, usually with what you do, or rather what you say I think the best way to avoid that problem is to put yourself in his/her place before doing or saying certain things. Only when we do that we could figure out whether what we are going to do or say is respectful or not Well, I guess everyone already know that, but consider it a little reminder, eh Having said that, the opposite of Respect is Disrespect I will get back to you later with the second Rule of Endearment Regards

Rule no.2: Tact
Today I bring you the second rule of Endearment; tact
Tact is a very important rule and many people lack it nowadays, the effect of which is dangerous on close relationships Tact means the ability to do or say something at a suitable time, without angering others In Arabic it translates to الذوق The adjective form is: Tactful The opposite form is: Tactless, or as we say in the UAE دفش So how important tact is to endearing yourself to others? It's important big time indeed People have emotions, both of happiness and sadness. So, what makes someone happy, might be the same thing that makes another sad When emotions leave varying effects on people, so does your approach to them So, one needs to be tactful when dealing with people, because if you say or do the 'right thing' but in the 'wrong time', it could get you in troubles For instance, you can't tell someone grieving* one of his relatives a bad news, no matter how necessary you need to break the news to him. Because doing that 'necessary thing' at that particular time is not 'tactful'; it could make him more miserable than he is already Examples of tact are plenty, but I guess you grasped the whole idea of my presentation, didn't you I hope I managed to explain the second rule quite simply Watch out for the third one shortly * To grieve someone means to express great sadness at someone's death. The noun form is 'Grieving'; while the adjectives could be two: a) 'Grieving'; feeling sad because someone died, b) 'Grievous'; having great effect, or causing great pain

Monsieur Tawwash I really like your topic. I'd like to comment on your second rule of endearment which is tact. As you said, many people are not either aware or don't care about being tactful. Some people call it " etiquette". for example, it is not appropriate to ask a woman about her age. I remember watching this show , i believe on sama dubai, and the guest of the show was the Mohammed al Marzouqi. He explained many rules that we may not pay attention to in our daily life. One of the rules he mentioned was the handshake between the two sexes. men are not supposed to initiate the handshake if the other person is a woman. If the woman initiates the handshake then he is supposed to shake her hand Although etiquette rules may vary from a culture to another, there are certain sets of etiquette rules that are recognized all over the world.  Peace,Rose

Know this brother, that many people lack 'tact', they just do things without considering it first. And what's really bad about is that they don't even realize their mistakes
Thanks for stopping by Regards
