nice

sometime in 2010, i have, time and time again, witness that being nice does not work.

but....

i have, in january 2012, had the opportunity to meet somebody who is nice and the epitome of "class" and yet, have not been treated like a doormat... but rather, with respect. what is the secret of his success?

his quiet confidence? his humbleness? his sacrifices? his passion? his lack of ego? his willingness to listen? his willingness to do his part? his trust in you to do yours? his kindness? his generosity?

is it just because he does everything he is suppose to do and more.... so much so you don't think it is an option to fail him?

inertia

inertia... i know it too well. it is really too easy to stay in status quo. even if what one is currently doing is not easy. as in it is easier to continue doing something difficult than to change direction and do something easier.

does that make sense?

i wonder if i am the first to document this... comfort zone is really not that comfortable after all (sometimes)!
