"我尊重自己,并要求每个人也尊重我。也因为这样,我也尊重每个人。"
— Maya Angelou
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.
