Be true to yourself.
Respect for yourself comes from standing on your own two feet and making your
own decisions and mistakes.
Instead of living or working for someone else's
approval, do it for yourself and a sense of accomplishment.
Practice honesty with
yourself in all you do.
Set high standards of performance and conduct for
yourself, and live up to them.
Even if your ethics and independence make your
road to success a little rougher, you'll be stronger for having traveled it on
your own.
