It only takes a moment to make someone’s day more pleasant, or less pleasant. We all have troubles in this economy, and I think that this calls for trying just a little bit harder to be pleasant to those people around you. I don’t mean that you have to overextend yourself; just be quicker to smile and say good morning to the person you are passing in the hallway, or biting your tongue when someone in the supermarket blocks your way for a minute too long and politely saying “excuse me” with a smile. It only takes a moment to be nice, and being nice is good for your inner being as well. Being nasty tends to make you feel even more negative inside and does nobody any good.
