True strength is daring to make others uncomfortable. Respect among adults is not about always tolerating, but about having boundaries and not crossing them. Respect is never something you gain by swallowing your pride; it’s something you earn through your responses. If you dare to fight back, others will respect you. If you attack, others will concede. If you are ruthless, others won’t dare to touch your bottom line. The clearer you express yourself, the easier it is to be understood. The more you dare to confront, the better you can see the true face of this world.
