Respect yourself
If you do not respect yourself you can never gain the respect of those around you. Esteem yourself, your skills and your successes. If you are dissatisfied with some aspect of your personality or your life, change it.
Help unselfishly
Giving more than taking is a strategy that pays off sooner or later in the long run.
Embrace challenges
People generally respect those who are not afraid to go beyond their comfort zone to try new things.
Live by your values
The values you hold should not only be rhetorical; you should also abide by them in your everyday life.
Do not be afraid to express appreciation
You should thank people frankly and express appreciation for their work, deeds and opinions.
Do not forget
A good memory makes good friends: if you forget facts about your acquaintances and colleagues (how many children they have, what problems they are facing, etc.), you will not earn their respect.
Inspire
Do not go with the flow: on the contrary, inspire people around you through innovative ideas and a pro-active, positive attitude to change.
Show your strengths
Those who do not mention their successes and keep their strengths a secret do not provide other people with any reason to respect them.
Keep your word
Break this rule just once and you will struggle to repair your reputation.
Do not slander
Do not lower yourself to gossip and slander; in terms of judging people, always maintain at least a neutral attitude.
