2. Respect (Zun Jing;) 
Respect is the foundation of your relationshp with your parents, teachers, your fellow students, other martial artists, and all other people in the society. Respect makes a harmonious relationship possible. However, the most important type of respect is self-respect. If you can't respect yourself, how can you respect others or expect them to respect you? Respect must be earned, you cannot ask for it or demand it. In China, it is said: "Those who respect themselves and others will also be respected." (*1) For example, if you despise yourself and become a villain in this society, then you have lost your self respect. Since you have abused your personality and humility as a human, why should other people respect you? Only when you have demonstrated that you are deserving of respect will respect come to you automatically and naturally.
