Doggone it, people like me.
I’m watching the SNL 40 special and there’s one thing I keep thinking. People like these people.
Nice matters.
Successful people are nice. You don’t make it far being a jerk. The nice ones sniff them out and get rid of the jerks.
Sure, there’s a few jerks, and they’re the ones that the media loves talking about, they make good TV headlines. But most successful people I’ve met are nice. That’s part of the equation. That’s a vital tool in the march to the top.
Being nice won’t make you successful (so don’t waste your time faking it. It will tire you out and it will tire everyone else out), but if you’re successful you’re probably nice.
Just a Sunday reminder. Now you choose.
You might be sitting there thinking, how do I do this?
You know that person you recognized at the show, mall, grocery store, and maybe you’ve even met before, or hung out with a bazillion times?
Well, they saw you too.
Say hello. Be the first to say hello.
I’m guilty. You’re guilty. Let’s get better at being nice.
