"I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me...All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." - Jackie Robinson.
Respect has been fought for, martyred for, and discussed for thousands of years. Christ taught it. Lincoln taught it. Heck, Aretha Franklin taught it and owned it. Respect is something everyone wants, and few master. Respect yields trust, and trust yields influence. Influence is also something we all yearn for as human beings; to make an impact on something, someone.
