Treating others with respect and thoughtfulness
One of my favorite movies of all time is “How to Train Your
Dragon”. I love that movie to pieces and I think that there are several of my
core values embedded in that film. Throughout much of the film, Hiccup is
dishonest with his family and friends about what he is doing. He not being
genuine about being a 'Viking' in his father's sense, but he is being true to himself when he starts
training and being friends with dragons rather than fighting them. A lot of
that movie is also about understanding. The old adage, ‘don’t judge a book by
its cover’ succinctly wraps up how the Vikings view the dragons. Hiccup is the
only one willing to learn and understand the dragons. He treats them
differently than any other Vikings do, with respect and thoughtfulness, and
achieves friendship with them as a result.
