Respect is always earned. This is really a question about motivation. All people, even when hardened in greed and selfishness, will acknowledge that respect is earned and that one should lead by example. This is because if one feels successful, that person is convinced he or she has earned respect and is leading by example, and if one feels unsuccessful, he or she is convinced of the opposite. What a person believes to be appropriate motivation in achieving success is perhaps what is really in question. Is it is always possible to be loving and inspiring in attaining success? The apostle Paul stated:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting [refuting] those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

We would all do well in following Paul's example, as he shared that Jesus Christ, who loved and inspired in all that he did, was his leader by example. Although not all people are convinced of Paul's positive message, the entire business community is convinced that there is always room for self-improvement and better people skills. What is considered better and improved, however, is an individual decision based on one's prior learning and acquired values.

Choosing the right sources of learning in life can set a person on a better path. Fame, reputation, and wealth are only superficial, setting our thoughts on things above is vital. It is this source of learning which yields a miracle-filled lifestyle.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

In my opinion respect is earned by your attitude and your life style  though there are situation where respect is demanded,  for instance the royale or the kings usually demand for respect because their presence any where in their Kingdom or  neighborhood kingdoms subject all their subject to respect them whether their actions are right or wrong.
Respect earn is naturally because people will respect you regardless your financial status but your personality.  If people entrust some responsibility in you and you are able to deliver to their expectations they will respect your honesty in this case you are earning a respect.
Conclusively,  it is possible to earn respect which by virtue is natural while demand for respect is by virtue of  status in the society which is not real.

You cannot asked people to respect you but its the person who will respect you no matter what it is. It's a personal choice by individual either they want to respect the person or bot. On the other hand, there are some instances that you need to earn people's respect and you cannot demand it. Right for example, if you are known by public you have to gain people's respect and maintain it or you will face critics. You may gained people's respect but, once you made a mistake, that respect will gone.
In this world we live in, sometimes it doesn't matter if people respect us or not as long as they don't do anything that will harm you. The only important thing is your family and friends matter because they know you who you really are.

Respect is earned and not demanded.Any respect that is demanded will come some with  reluctance and a bit of insult because if we begin to beg any one for what is due to us then we are already down playing or downgrading ourself. I personally, don't ask or demand for respect from any one whether old or young person but my actions and deeds speaks and stands for me whether I will be respected or not.

Earning respect comes from minding one's business and only getting involved only with what concerned one's.

Another means is by also respecting others.No body want to be insulted,if one needs to be respected then one should also show respect to others.

Lastly,one shouldn't always expect too much respect but just believe you will be respected and move on.

You don't demand respect from people, you Command respect and if you have a good command of respect, you'll earn a lot of it. By command I mean your actions, behaviors and manners towards others. It is something that naturally comes to you because people will act in accordance to your attitude towards them.
It is not uncommon to see that a person can be respected by certain groups of people while another group will have total disregard for the same person. It is because of the different attitude that we display towards different people.
It is important for you to start by respecting your own self first, then others can follow. If you don't respect yourself and extend it to others, not even a child will respect you and when you have respect for yourself, how others take it doesn't really matter.

Respect is definitely earned by your deeds, because if you are demanding the respect than that means that environment is not apt for you or may be you are not apt for that place, if you want to be respected than you must show positive qualities....and if you are in an environment where people are not respecting you inspite of your goodness, than I think it's the issue of your surroundings and you must try to be at a better place....because selfrespect is first step to gain respect from surrounding....so never compromise your self-respect..

Respect is a two way traffic. Give out respect and you will get respect in return. Also you respect yourself and people will respect you.

To sum up all these, respect is earned. Some people demand respect by force. They will demand it and get it. Fear can breed respect.

Respect is respect whether earned or demanded.

If you have power then you can easily demand the respect. And as long as you have the power, that respect stays with you. That is forced respect and not at all something that lasts. 

If you are hard working and result oriented person then you earn respect and that stays long with you till the old age. That's how the respect works in the life.

Respect us earned, you cannot force or intimidate people to respect you if you don't deserve it. So respect is not commanded. People will respect you due to you lifestyle, how you talk, how you dress, how you speak to them. So if you put you life style well people will automatically respect you.

Respect and trust are earned...them that demand a free ride are most likely those wanting to use respect or trust to take advantage. Everyone should be properly vetted before either is given.

Respect, trust and love, must be earned. Earned as well as returned. Meaning, if one wants to be respected or trusted or loved, one must show the same for other people.

Respect are always earned not demanded if you demand respect then you are not been respected but just been obeyed so we shouldn't ask people for respect instead we should be respectful our selves.

Respect is something that should be earned through your character and behaviours with people around you and should not be demanded for.

Respect is typically earned, not demanded. People who demonstrate qualities such as trustworthiness, honesty, fairness, and kindness are more likely to earn respect from others.

Most people who engage in polite conversation earn respect from their surroundings. Others may demand respect. Ultimately, respect is earned, and it must be earned from the beginning to the end of the conversation.
