Respect is a very basic human need.We all feel that need, and some of us struggle to get it. It is important to learn how to earn respect at the work place, at home, from your friends to your family.respect is of two types 
Normative Respect And Earned Respect.

Normative respect is some thing you get because of your status, Job title and Social position etc.Earned respect is one that you get because of your character.It is the earned respect that lasts longer, matters more and ultimately shows how respectable you are. In our journey towards personality development, it is important for us to learn how to gain this second type of respect from others. We all want to gain earned respect.

The oldage says it well"Give respect and take respect".Some people have the misconception that if you show respects to others, it somehow demeans you in their eyes and you won't get their respect back.Nothing could be furthur from the truth.By treating others the way you like to be treated, you are ensuring their respect. Think about that you respect more, the one who disrespects you or the one who treats you well?? First respect your self; If you have self-esteem issues, it is hard for others to respect you. Always treat your self with respect, you project an image of respectability.It is extremely important to learn to be firm.

When our conscience tells us something is against our value and principles, we must stand firm and do the right thing.

It is very hard to respect people who fly off the handle every two minutes. It is important to get grip on your emotions.I am not saying that you have to turn all robatic; you just have to have a hold  over your emotions and not let them control you.Well a Key element of earning respect is to honour your commitments.Always keep your words, Be honest and diliver what you have promised.This will boast you esteem in the eyes of other.Any one who cannot depend upon will find it hard to get others to respect them.Always be the Best you can be.
