I've talked to an acquaintance of mine, and over the course of the discussion a phrase he told me (mostly in jest without giving it much meaning) was "I don't hold any respect for you".

And it's true - I don't really know anything about gaining or maintaining the respect of others. Since I don't think that it's going to just "come" to me without any effort on my part (Re: "What are the odds of becoming a black belt overnight" - SP) I'd like to get some input from others.

So, what in your opinion is a good way of gaining the respect of others?
