Was it Lil' Kim who rapped the lyrics "Money power respect... It's the key to life"? Turns out, she was only partly right. New research suggests happiness has a lot more to do with respect than it does with money, Medical News Today reports.
In a series of studies, psychological scientist Cameron Anderson of the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, found that:
1) Respect and admiration, but not socioeconomic status, predicted students' social well-being. 2) The relationship between respect/admiration and well-being was partly due to the sense of power and social acceptance that the students felt in their personal relationships. And 3) Changes in respect/admiration corresponded to changes in MBA students' well-being. And respect/admiration predicted well-being more strongly than socioeconomic status.
"I was surprised at how fluid these effects were -- if someone's [social] standing in their local ladder went up or down, so did their happiness, even over the course of 9 months," said Anderson. What makes you happier: money or respect?

Respect for other people is more important than being respected, Im saying that to all you who think the only way to gain respect is by taking it from someone else.
Money will not change that.
Why does it make you sad? I choose not to associate with people in person.
If I was the last person this planet I could find joy, but that would be because I am able to explore our vast planet whatever way I choose to.
If I was confined to one area, my life would be misery. I have been confined before and I would wish it upon no one.
I have a passion for video games (I would like to design my own line of games soon), they can be made to teach people things they simply cannot learn from real life experiences. I believe that a certain amount of confinement is essential for a growing mind (sorry to contradict what I said earlier), it is just as important as adversity is in making a real man.
However with the wrong amount, you can turn that person into a bully, a loner or something that humans judge as unhealthy.
I do not judge you, I am aware that people can explore the most unusual ways of life, some homeless, some junkies, but we can never know if that person was good or evil, that is for them to decide.
Can I ask, when you are feeling down, how do you handle it without someone to support you?
If i needed to talk to someone i still have close friends i talk to over Skype, or Xbox Live.
If you can control yourself without help that is good, you are better than most people (who hold on to problems forever, and constantly distract themselves with stupidity).
I meant you can take the money and take a course in "How To Get People To Respect You" ^_-
I know how to make anyone respect me, and when I find they are not worth respecting, I know how to make them fear me.
In fear there is respect, not the right kind of respect, but I would still be respected unless everyone feared me.
now I think the comparison is unfair to begin with we're comparing something physical (money) with something moral (respect) it's like saying would you rater have food or be in love....it doesn't make sense!
The most universal way of finding respect, is finding something to share with another person, this could be something as simple as a similar experience you both had, or something as great as giving a starving man your meal.
I reach out to every person, my whole life I have never followed "social barriers" society and media have urged us to follow, it wasnt until I 12 that I understood this in me. I believe it has made my life much richer.
Let us compare respect with love, and money with company.
Self made-millionaire, I wont let my kids grow up rich, they are going to have to learn what it is to be poor before they can make money.
You get respect from people
And you can earn money
Cant imagine the kind of respect and fear someone would have for the guy who had that built in a time when no other building went higher than 2 or 3 stories.
But you can't buy respect.
