 |  How to gain respect of others?
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? |

You can't chase respect. I believe it starts from self-respect. How do you view yourself. You have to respect yourself first before others can respect you. Its simply having your own life, having your own passions, your own purpose and going for what you want in your life. Being real, authentic individual. I also wouldn't worry about if he respects you or not. Thats his problem, not yours.

Self respect comes from loving yourself, not putting up with too much crap from others, living a principle centered life. Without one of those things in place you will lose out on a lot of self respect for yourself. | |

I would also say that self respect and being comfortable with yourself is the first thing that comes to mind. Walking your talk is also benefitial.
