My 15 year old daughter told me just the other day that she always wondered why people were nice to me in public always wanting to do nice things for me, and then she realized why, it was because I am very nice to them. I think it might have been one of the best comments I have ever received.

Ivan, as much as I’d like to see courtesy become common again, I am basking in the fact that my being courteous stands out more in a world that has become far less courteous.

Sounds like opportunity…but being courteous is simply being respectful of others.

Great post!

Great post Ivan and very true!! You're right that if you are consistently kind to others it will come back to you. I've seen this in so many ways. I take our team into a coffee shop across the street from our work on a daily basis and always try to go out of my way to show kindness to people and the employees there. The employees really appreciate this a lot and often look forward to us coming in because we've let them know that they matter. This has resulted in us not having to pay for our food and drinks for over half of our visits there over the last few months. They've refused to take our money. This is definitely not the reason we have sought to be kind to them, but is just an example of what types of things can happen when you sincerely care about those around you. .-= Glenn Hilton ´s last blog ..From First Glance to Happily Ever After: My Approach to Relationship-Building Through Twitter =-.

Ahh yes–that damn self conscious bubble. thanks for the article. It’s a huge start just to make eye contact and say “hello” before launching into a demand or request. I notice that (we) americans are so guilty of this. it takes so little to be courteous and it yields such tremendous karmic results.
