advice - be nice

The most important thing a person can strive to succeed at in their life is following their own path. Being one’s self is redundant because it is inevitable. Even a person who poses as another person or spends their life emulating the behaviors of others is essentially being themselves, granted they are very unoriginal but that is no sin. However it is necessary for an individual to branch out and learn who they prefer to be.

A sound reminder to yourself is to try to be nice, if not then at least a bit professional. Lashing out at others for your own frustration is both unnecessary and fruitless but at worst can lead to lost opportunities and tarnish on your reputation. This may seem like a small price to pay when pursuing your own agenda in life but it is foolhardy to think that the opinions of others will not come into play in the future. The future is vast and unpredictable and those who you thought were unimportant at other stages in the game may eventually unveil themselves as the deciders of your fate when you least expect it.

This is by no means an urging for people to stop being themselves. You will be disliked for being yourself by others. However, that does not mean you cannot conduct yourself in a way that garnishes admirers more than foes. A loud mouth can be just as easily ignored as heard but their message is rarely conveyed and often misunderstood. Don’t be that person.
