How can you show responsiveness?

Being responsive will help me make better decisions and easily get along with other people.  It’ll help me achieve more and earn other people’s respect. Responsiveness to the public is completely devoid of politics and discrimination.  Regardless of the race, age, economic status and origins, connections in society and looks, we should treat everyone equally with respect and integrity.  There are many ways on how I can show responsiveness to the public. One way is acting promptly on clients’ requests.  I won’t keep them wait for too long.  I should be more polite and patient.  Well, being polite to people costs nothing and it can help me earn respect of my colleagues and as well as the people I serve. Patience and tolerance are also vital in dealing with people. Being able to understand other people’s feelings is also a great skill, which will enable me to be more tolerant of their behavior and eventually serve them effectively.

      Social justice is one aspect of responsiveness which means “giving to each what he or she is due” regardless of the socio-economic status. I have heard of a phrase “the rich get richer; the poor get poorer.”  This mindset has misled millions to believe that they are doomed to poverty and that there is no more hope for them to succeed in life. As a result, many people accept life the way it is.  My family is not rich, but we cannot also be considered as the poorest of the poor.  My parents’ income is just enough for a living, enough to give us children good education.  When I am still a kid, every time I see other people with things that we do not have, I tend to compare ourselves with them.
