Respect is very important to some people. But to others, like me, I don't find respect to be a necessity in life. For those who want respect, they try to do a lot to gain it from peers. Some just think they should get respect and not have to earn it. Personally, if you are close to me you have my respect. But if you do not know me, you have to earn my respect. I earn respect from people from my success and being a great role model to all of the young bosses. But respect is a form of kindness in my opinion. I think to earn respect you must be able to talk or do something maturely not just for someone but to benefit yourself. Respect is also a form of admiration. You are respected for the positive things that you do and say. By being you and not being a follower I think it is very easy to earn respect. This means that, you do what is expected of you and not just what other people around you are doing. By doing this you can earn much respect. Many people are respected for their actions and it is essential that you are respectful in return. For me I may come off as someone who is not respectful at all, but in reality I try to show as much respect for those who deserve it and for those who have made an impact on my life today.
