Self-Respect is vitally important to succeed in life. In fact, the lack of self-respect is one of the most evident features in the most unsuccessful people in our society, those who find themselves in prison.
One of the most predominant themes of these people is that, because of one excuse or another, they didn’t respect themselves so they went out to find respect through heir misguided actions.
In fact, it was repeated that John Dillinger, the famous bank robber/gangster of the 30′s ran into a farmhouse and repeatedly told the owner, “My name is John Dillinger.” What you want to do is find ways that build your self-respect without ending up like John Dillinger, who by the way was shot dead by the FBI.
