    :) … and from a certain point onwards you would not (even) waste a thought on what everybody might think about you.

    Satisfaction with one’s individuality. Quite an attainment, Sir Lao Tzu! Your flowers have much elegance and a captivating colour,Cherie.

    I don’t know about this one,Cherie.
    I am content to be myself but everybody hates me. Even my friends. :)

    Good quote – and makes perfect sense. At least the first part does. After that, I suspect it is not so much a matter of other people respecting you (that’s not going to happen, by and large!) but of you simply not caring about what they think of you!
