“Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.”
— Richard Branson

Simplified Meaning:
Treating everyone with kindness and consideration, not just the people you're trying to impress, is important. Imagine you are at school, and there's a new student who looks a bit lonely. If you only talk to your friends and ignore this new student, you're not showing respect. But if you go over, say hello, and maybe invite them to join you for lunch, you're treating them with respect. This means you look beyond what you can gain and focus on being kind and fair to everyone. For instance, if you greet your teacher with the same politeness as you do the janitor, you're treating both with equal respect. This approach makes for better relationships and a happier community, as everyone feels valued and respected.
