Be Nice

It sounds simple or hokey. Belief that it works makes a difference. When I was driving a taxicab, I made a decision to be nice. I believe there is a famous quote in HARVEY on that and I found it in the script and highlighted it when I gave it as a gift to the lady that opened a place named after the play/film.

Deciding to be nice takes practice. Especially for a smart alec like myself. Sometimes it started with acting nice or playing nice. Soon the rewards started being noticed. Eventually it wasn't an act. But being nice is not being a doormat and giving in. One my most difficult challenges is learning when being nice is really doing more harm than good. Enabling does more harm in the big show.

its NICE to be NICE.
MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.
LOVE your ENEMY
PAY it FORWARD
BRAKE for POSSUMS
VISUALIZE a NICE WORLD
