"Je me respecte et j'insiste là-dessus de tout le monde Et parce que je le fais je respecte tout le monde aussi"

Simplified Meaning:
When you value yourself and treat yourself well, you set a standard for how others should treat you. Imagine a person who takes pride in doing their work well and always speaks politely. This person expects others to respect them in return. This same respect they have for themselves helps them understand the importance of respecting everyone else too. So, by treating yourself with dignity, you not only teach others to do the same but also practice treating everyone around you kindly. For example, if you’re a student who doesn’t let anyone bully you, you also don’t bully others. This attitude makes for a positive and respectful environment for everyone.
