Respect

Respect

You can always blow your trumpet
make folks think you’re the best.
You can skite about achievements
how your better then the rest.

Mix in much higher circles
then those you see each day.
Squash those who criticise you
make then get out of your way.

But when push comes down to shove
you will find you’re on your own.
No real friends to protect you
when your cover it gets blown.

Its how you deal with people
it’s how you make them feel.
don’t let airs and graces win out
keep it honest, keep it real.

There’s one thing that you need
and it’s a thing you can’t reject
some things you get so easily.
but you’ve gotta earn respect.

Thanks Nev.

When I was retail divisional manager for Spa I had a little sign in my draw that I would look at every time things just got a bit tough.
