pozeljno objasnjenje na engleskom bi bilo slijedece:
"revere" means to cherish or to respect or even to "admire" someone.
Peole revere the King for example.
In your context it is talking about revering oneself: respect and cherish yourself (postuj, cijeni, imaj respekta za samog sebe)
"despise" on the other hand is the opposite. From the context of your sentence it means that one should not "overdo" it. So, respect yourself but know your limits as well and do not lose yourself in your own admiration.
Nadam se da pomaze!

S tim da je objasnjenje trazeno na engleskom nisam sigurna da li je prevod na bosanski takodje potreban ili si samo trazio objasnjenje???

According to your suggestion I came up with this translation. I hope that's it! :)"
Discussion
What I need is translation in Bosnian. I know the meanings in English, but I am not quite sure about saying it in Bosnian. Explanations are fine as long as you have translation first.
Thanks again!
