Find out what it means to me.

I will respect you from the start, but once you lose it, you have to
earn it back.
And if you demand it from me, I will respect you even less.
Respect is not a right. And while we all have bad days when steam
blows out our ears, if you give it time - or even say sorry, you will
find respect still there. It's the constant demanding and the talking
talking talking that wears me out.
Respect, and even LIKE is found in humility, not the weilding of power.
No one likes a brute.
This is why I try not to talk to my boss, who is writing me up for not
checking my email everyday.
It's because I can't stant the constant barage of emails about
cigarettes. I choose to let them stock pile and read them all at once.
Unfortunately, I missed emails about a staff meeting.
My bad, I know. But I said sorry.
If a man worries about becoming a joke, he should try not to be one.
