It all starts with respecting yourself and realizing your value. The way you behave and paint yourself to the public is going to have a huge impact in the way people are going to treat you.

Deep down we all want to be valued, we all want to be taken serious and in Oder for that to happen it relies on how we behave and the way we paint ourselves to the public. The things we stand for, matter the most. Those are the things that represent us when we are not present. When people have conversation about other people they mostly talk about the things they have done ,things they were part of and things they stood for.

Aren't we not suppose to not care or think what people think or say about us? Of course we're not suppose too, but you got to realize that for everything that you want to do in life will need people to support you and people support things that brings value to their lives, things that make them worthy and respectful. So basically to some degree and extent it does matter what people think and say about you.

When you say the word Respect, most people instantly think about how should I treat other people, of which you should first instantly think about how should I behave around other people. Respect and treat other people good for yourself not for them. Doing it for them it means you putting them first in your life of which it should be the other way around.

Always try to push a message of value about yourself, to really show that you want to offer help and you want to be helped, '' Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu ''. We need each other survive in this world that is why you not alone, do something of value, do something respectful. When people look at you they mustn't only see you physically, they need to see the things you stand for ,the things you have done to bring growth to the world!

Ask yourself this question, is Everything that I am currently doing or things that I am doing on a daily basis are going to pay off in the future? What you do on a daily determines what is going to happen to you in the future, most of us live on the 'YOLO' term which is about living in the moment and cherish every part of it because tomorrow might not come, of which it is true but a lot people use that term as an excuse to be reckless.

I am not saying don't have fun, have fun, enjoy yourself but be conscious on how you have fun and how you enjoy yourself. Fun has always been interlinked with coolness, of which being "Cool" to a lot people is being disobedient and doing what ever you want and not thinking things through most of the time. You find people driving while intoxicated in the act of a vibe and being cool.

Some learners in schools do destructive things during class lessons just for being cool. Most people have not realized that most things that are considered being cool, are things that make you look like a fool to certain situations and they will lead you to not being taken seriously by people when it comes to serious matters. Be on the route to always inspire, do things that are life changing ,do things that will have positive impact on peoples lives, being on that route will make you a valuable person in society and most importantly a respected figure.
