Common Courtesy- Pass It On!
Posted on Tue, Jul 06, 2010 @ 10:33 AM
Have you ever wondered why as you pass by someone that you don't know, why that person said hello or just smiled and nodded? Maybe they felt like being nice, or they thought you could just use a friendly gesture to brighten your day. Some of us may find this annoying at times, but then other times it truly has made our day that much better. Just because someone has made you upset at work or home doesn't mean you should take it out on a stranger by giving them an attitude. A genuine "hello" or friendly wave may even make you feel better about your day or yourself.
We have all had days where we just don't want to be bothered, which is fine. Just remember that even if we are a having a bad day, it doesn't mean we should make someone else's day any worse. So think about this, the next time you are at the truck stop or at your terminal dropping off paperwork, say "hello" or smile at someone just because you can. They in turn may pass it on.
