Answer: YOU! You do. You deserve the most respect.
However, earning that respect begins with you. Yes, You!
You have to have SELF-RESPECT long before you can respect others and most definitely long before others will even think about respecting you.
I cannot stress this enough: YOU MUST ALWAYS RESPECT YOURSELF.
If you want to succeed in life you must succeed in SELF-RESPECT.
By setting and sticking to the standards and boundaries you set for yourself, you will find yourself in a better position to push yourself further and higher. All the while, it will make it easier to identify individuals that offer you no respect or used you to their advantage because they could clearly see you had no respect for yourself.
Have Some Self-Respect and get to moving on and up!
REMEMBER: ACTION is ALWAYS greater than WORDS
Get to work,
