Lesson #3: Be a nice helper
January 22, 2010 at 8:25 AM | Posted in Lessons in Kindness | Leave a commentTags: Help
Even if you’re giving a service, you can be nice about it. Yesterday I observed a friendly bus driver greet a passenger and strike up a conversation. He described his desire to visit the Ivory Coast and she nodded along. When I stepped off the bus a few stops later and thanked him, he answered in a tone so appreciative that he might as well have said, “My pleasure, thank you for riding the bus.”
Today, someone held a door open for me and when I thanked him, he said, “No prob” in a wonderfully casual way.
Be a nice helper. People will love receiving help from you and they’ll be eager to do something nice for you too.
