The Four Rs (Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Resourcefulness)
The Four Rs—Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, and Resourcefulness—are guiding principles for positive personal and social behavior. Respect involves valuing others’ feelings, rights, and differences. Responsibility means taking ownership of your actions and their consequences. Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks and keep going despite difficulties. Resourcefulness is using available tools, knowledge, and creativity to solve problems and adapt. Together, these principles foster a respectful, accountable, adaptable, and proactive mindset, helping individuals navigate challenges and build strong, positive relationships.
