  1. Smile. Smile to a stranger. Not a creepy, weird smile, just a pleasant, “how’s it going?’” smile. Suggested places to smile: in an elevator, on your way in/out of a store, at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles.
  2. Merge. Let “that guy” merge in front of you in traffic. Getting home 8 feet later doesn’t matter.
  3. Hold. Hold the door for someone. Anyone. Let them go in first.
  4. Respect. Treat everyone with the respect you want them to give you.
  5. Don’t Be A Hater. Don’t be a hater on social media or anywhere else. Man up. If you have something negative to say, then say it in a tactful way and own your opinions. Don’t write someone off just for disagreeing with you. Listen to and learn the other side.
  6. Encourage. Encourage someone. Find a way to tell someone they did something good. Even that annoying coworker who constantly complains.
  7. Give. Give money, or more importantly, time to a cause you care about.
  8. Deal with it. Don’t be a jerk when things don’t go your way at work or at home. Take a breath and deal with it. Put it in perspective. Gone are your childish ways.
  9. Buy. Buy coffee/food for the person behind you in the drive through. Anonymously. Don’t expect a thank you. That’s not why you’re doing it.
  10. Write. Write someone a note. Not an email. A note, on paper, that you have to mail. You’ll be blown away by the impact it will have. Talking to you Millennials.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’.
