Bobalu’s rules for being liked.
-Always try to make everyone around you as comfortable as possible.
-Never, ever, intentionally antagonize or disrespect anyone..from the CEO of your firm to the elderly lady that cleans the offices.
-Remember that life is not all about you.
-Keep in mind life is often unfair, we all have to learn to live with that or it will destroy us.
-If you count up the people that dislike you and it exceeds
3 then the problem is you.
-Always be on the lookout for a reason to heap praise on a colleague for work well done.
-Always be alert for a chance to compliment someone on their appearance.... it is deeply appreciated.
-If you love (or like) someone say so as often as you can squeeze it in without seeming maudlin...what if you never again get the chance?
-This is the ancient one— “Treat everyone the way you want them to treat you...even if they do not”
There was a time in my life when I followed none of these edicts...life had dealt me a shitty hand. I prayed on my situation and this is what came to me and from that moment on I was a different person... and everyone became glad whenever I arrived at any venue. It changed my life. Let me tell you, when everyone waves and says hello and wants to come over and talk when you arrive it makes your soul soar.
“-If you count up the people that dislike you and it exceeds
3 then the problem is you.”
I like this one a lot.
Unless you are the lone white male heterosexual libertarian/conservative evangelical Christian in your workplace. Then the problem is probably them.
Wise post.
Beautiful thoughts. Thank you. Happy Easter.
