I found this over at Cranking Widgets this morning. Remember how it’s the little things in life that matter. Sometimes a fresh smile and a friendly greeting can mean the difference between a good day and a bad day. Don’t wait for everybody else to start being nice. It’s contagious. If you start, everybody else will eventually follow your lead.
The post lists 6 great, easy ways to make it happen. Here’s my favorite:
Next time you’re in line at Starbucks buying your daily Skinny Half-Caf Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte with No Foam™, see if somebody is standing behind you. If they are (and they’re not carrying armloads of coffee and brewing equipment), say:
“What’re you drinking? It’s on me today.”
They’ll look at you like you have rocks in your head, but just let them know that it’s no gag.
“Uh, Venti Mocha…”, they’ll eek out, sheepishly.
“And a Venti Mocha for my friend… what’s your name?”
“Ted…”
“Have a great day Ted, and enjoy the drink!”
“Wow, thanks!”
You can read the rest here.
