You should always follow the ethics which we are taught and never be affected by the behavior of others. Never treat others by looking at their response towards you, rather follow your own pattern of ethics and values so that others may get impressed by your pattern and be tilted towards the good ethics and values you display. An example of this is as below: An old man was walking around in a forest to collect some wood for his kitchen burner. Suddenly he heard a hue and cry of a cat. He ran towards that place from which he heard that sound. He saw a cat trapped in a deep hole from which she was unable to escape. The old man decided to help the cat to get out of that hole. He put his hand in the hole to catch the cat to take it out, but the cat scratched the old man’s hand with his paws as she got afraid of the old man.   The old man was screaming because of pain. His hand was bleeding but he didn’t give up and decided to help the cat at any cost. He again put his hand in the hole ...

  Dress is having a great impact on the personality of a person and also decides how others will behave with him by getting an impression about him. People behave as if they get inspired by a person and his dressing plays the main role in this. One great example is as below. Shiekh Saadi was a great and well-known poet of Iran. He was very popular because of his poetry. One day he was going to the Court of King and on his way to the court, he had to stay in a house of a nobleman.
