At the end of the day, people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life.
If you live what you believe, you will always have the respect of others.
I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.
There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.
One thing is clear to me: We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.
In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people, you feel better about yourself.
I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.
I'm different, and I'm not afraid to be different.
I've traveled around the world, and what's so revealing is that, despite the differences in culture, politics, language, how people dress, there is a universal feeling that we all want the same thing. We deeply want to be respected and appreciated for our differences.
I don't like to be different; I would like to be the same.
