Our values: Respect

I believe respect is very important for discipline to be instilled and effective; and discipline is the backbone of any significant change for the better, in any form. Any tradition or history that encourages us to uphold respect should be introduced into our paths to create the success story we like to tell.

Two of the fundamental problems we blacks have is lack of respect for ourselves and lack of discipline.

I think our society is losing that virtue -- respect--, which promotes law and order to a larger extent, starting with the families. We can not afford to lose that urge completely. Nowadays, it seems that children do not show respect to adults if they've got no money.

Respect seems to be fading away fast and we have to turn that situation around.
