"Respect" Hard to earn but easy to lose. I think, its one of those things that people really need to earn from someone. Respect others so they will also respect you. No matter how rich, smart or beautiful you are, if you don't have a respect to other people, you will not gain one thing in this world called "harmonious relationship" to others. Considering how hard you earn it, with a simple mistake, action or words, that respect can lose in an instant. Its can changed the way other people look at you, it can ruin relationship and bond. @Snowver
