R.E.S.P.E.C.T. ME!

I would much rather have 10k people respect me than 100,000k people give me attention. Which is why I’m so PRO relationship vs. numbers. Damn the numbers, I want the value.

I’d much rather have respect. If people respect you, you can get things done faster, and call in favors. Attention doesn’t mean you get things done or improve. Respect is important for progress.

Respect is far more important than attention alone. With respect will come attention. The attention that comes without respect will get a person nothing but trouble.

I would take the respect over the attention any day, Terrance. Once you have respect from people you will get all the attention you can handle, whereas just getting attention may not be for the best of reasons. Case in point, all the celebrities you listed that have attention for all the wrong reasons

Respect is WAY more important that attention. Besides, when you have respect, you get better conversion ratios when it comes to promotions.

Good post, Mr. Charles! Keep em coming!

I would have to agree that respect is more important because it goes a longer way than just momentary attention. A good name is better than anything in this world. You will have a ton of attention anyway if people respect you.
