Overview
Respect is something you must give to other people automatically. Those who say that everyone needs to 'earn' their respect are being too shortsighted. In your life right now, you will be well rewarded if you greet every new person as if he or she is the most important person in the world. Do not let appearance dictate how cordial or courteous you are. Someone could be testing your maturity, and if you regard other people highly today, there is no way you can fail.
