“Be skilful in relationship building by being selfless, unassuming and not feeling self entitled. Respect boundaries, don’t be a user, be humble, accountable and have integrity”, he said, besides, he is of the view that you must have respect, more for yourself than the one you latch on to because it is self respect that restrains you from behaving in ways that put you in bad light.
