- First, be kind to yourself. You'll find being nice to others is easier if you build your self-respect with positive thoughts about your personality and achievements.
- Treat everyone with respect. Don't worry about who's on top. Treat everyone the way you want to be treated, regardless of their position or title.
- Say "no" when necessary. You can't do everything. But when you do say "no", be polite and positive.
- Plant seeds of kindness. Do something nice every day even when your kindness may not have an immediate payoff.
- Complete this statement: "If I were a better person, I would ___." Then act on it.
