  • In this world, we all deserve justice, and we all deserve respect. There can be no peace without it. So, guide your present with reverence and justice to yourself and others. You can’t get respect from others if you don’t respect others, and you receive respect only when you give.

  • Be honest, speak the truth freely, and be who you are and not someone else.Love and respect what you’ve been given, love what you’re good at, and even love what you’re bad at.

  • Remember that you can’t force someone to respect you, but you can refuse others to disrespect you. But before you respect others, respect yourself and treat others the way you want others to treat you. Once you understand your worth and start respecting yourself, you won’t waste your time on people who don’t respect you.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
