In her words:
”Carry yourself the way you want to be treated in life, if you make yourself an object, you will be treated like one.
Let people know that there is a brain in-between your ears and when they do, they may be uncomfortable around you but they will respect you.
I made up my mind a long time ago that it is more important to be respected than be liked. This is what I have worked with, just be competent at what you decide to do or learn competence in something before you decide to do it.
Shut up when you don’t know what people are talking about, have the loudest voice when you do know.”
