Being nice is often easier said than done. Getting through the day can be hard enough without having to go out of your way to smile at strangers and say "please" and "thank you." So why do it? Being nice makes people feel good and paves the way to good relationships.
When you're walking past someone, even a stranger, acknowledge their presence with a simple "hello" or "hi," or even just a wave or a nod in their direction. Letting people know you see them is nice; it makes people feel a little more special.
Take the time to ask someone how things are going in their lives, without being nosy or intrusive. If they seem resistant to talking, don't push them to say more than they feel like saying.
Listen when other people are talking to you. It isn't nice to just ignore other people's opinions and stories. Give them time to speak, just as you'd like them to give you time to speak if your positions were reversed.
Always say "please," "thank you" and "you're welcome." Be patient, observant, and considerate. Treat people with respect, even those you don't particularly want to get to know.
Don't forget to always say "Excuse me" instead of "MOVE!" when someone's in your way. People aren't the ground that you can just spit on, they are living beings like you. If you are respectful to that person, that person will usually act the same way.
If you're on public transportation and an elderly, disabled or pregnant person gets on board, offer your seat. It's the nice thing to do.
If you see someone in need of a little help picking up something he or she dropped or reaching something from a high shelf, help out.
Always be nice to everyone in everyday life .
