NOW MEASURE YOUR CHARACTER USING A UNIVERSAL STANDARD (using the 25 virtues of the Good (Human) by Chuck Chapman
1. Are you honourable?

Yes: 10
No: 0
2. Are you courageous?

Yes: 10
No: 0
3. Are you compassionate?

The respect you show to others is a reflection of your self respect. For this reason, respect is something you do for yourself. That doesn’t mean you have to agree with others, but you simply value yourself enough to give others respect.
