Now there’s differing opinions on this, but it’s my blog so I’m going to give you my viewpoint: a little kindness goes a long way. You may not climb the corporate ladder, clawing your way to the top, and stand alone cheering for yourself at the summit, but you’ll make a lot of friends along the way, feel better, and have people to save you when you need it. I’ve made lots of great relationships in my three years, and I’ve needed those relationships. Some of you will still do the opposite, and think that’s the only way to succeed, and that’s fine. But for the others of us, be nice to people and they’ll return the favor. Remember the golden rule?
