One comment on respect...to me it's one of the most important things to have that CAN be earned. As we go through life, most people want to be liked/loved by everyone. If I had it my way, I'd be everyone's best friend. But, I realize that it's not possible. Someone is going to dislike you, no matter how hard you try to rectify the situation. However, even people that don't care for us can still have respect for us. To me, respect is almost more important to have than feelings of like. It shows trust, not blind faith.
Ex. I really dislike Michael Jordan...don't ask me why. But, I RESPECT him for the amazing athlete that he is (was) and that can't be taken away from him.
