self-respect

Respect isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

Accepting disrespect to win favor is an act of self-deception.

And those who dish it, especially the passive-aggressive types, are pure evil.

When you tolerate it, you lose both respect and self-worth.

I’ve done this, even at this late stage of my career.

People may never like you more, but you will enjoy yourself less.

I’m away from that evil now – with zero regret and more self-respect.

Stand firm. Demand respect. Earn self-respect.
