It is not easy to earn your respect to others. It is built hard and can be lost in an instant. Respect is a tricky thing. We all want it, but few get it. Respect is earned through a combination of several factors: will, patience, tenacity and integrity.

Find out what are the steps that you can do to get respect from those around you. Watch your personal cleanliness (always have your nails cut, hair trim, and the hands clean). Avoid going to meetings directly after you out of the gym or after you run at the stadium.

Think carefully before you say something. Actually... just say things that are necessary and try to do not ramble. People are saved by the things they do and say. If you just say uninteresting things, too many jokes or things that are all wrong, you will not be able to achieve your goal (earning the respect of others).

Confidence and humble go hand in hand. Do not praise yourself with your accomplishments. Let the facts speak for themselves. If they are memorable, people will talk.

Pay attention to details, the people you meet, their names, the things they say. Remind them about these details about what you have said or done to impress them. You will feel appreciated and they will appreciate and in turn, giving you respect.

Keep your cool in any situation and think clearly. Do not impatience if an unforeseen situation arises.

Make sure about the things you do (at work) to do well, with sense of responsibility and not in mockery, as if nobody could control. Employers are usually attentive and appreciate such employees. Your efforts will not go unrewarded (sooner or later).

In front of people I know for a little while (work colleagues, friends went to the beer, fellow students) avoid talking about personal things, not your pity. You will be considered a weak man, open and easily to hurt. You seem vulnerable. However it does not entail respect but mercy. Keep sharing secrets with your best friends or girlfriend / wife.
