LIVE WITH DIGNITY, HONOR, AND SELF-RESPECT ~ Above all, live with dignity, honor, and self-respect. Living with dignity means that you act and speak in a way that is worthy of respect. You command respect by how you carry yourself. To have honor means that when people hear your name, they think good things about you because you have a good character. When you respect YOURSELF, YOU SET HIGH STANDARDS, and do not compromise your MORALS. Those who do not respect themselves, fail to take proper care of themselves and open the door for others to mistreat them. In addition, they are more likely to mistreat others by talking behind their backs, gossiping, bullying, or doing other harmful things. No matter where you are, carry yourself with dignity. While the behavior of many people is dictated by what is going on around them, hold yourself to a higher standard. Avoid situations and places where wasting time is the norm. Don't be afraid of criticism. Only those who know that they are doing wrong (or not doing right) feel compelled to defend or explain themselves to others. Let the quality of your deeds speak on your behalf. You can't control the impressions others form about you, and when you spend time trying to do so, you only debase your character...
