The one who has respect for the self is the one who gets respect from others. Every human being has innate worth which is pure and virtuous. Faith in the self brings out the potential within and this brings respect for the self. Self-respect makes us self-reliant and brings respect from others. In order to get respect from others, we need to increase our own self-respect. For this, all we need to do is find something unique in ourselves and each morning remind ourselves of this speciality. Also let us make sure we work at least once with this speciality throughout the day.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
