A lot of people think nice is benign.
But benign is a tumor.
Whereas nice - genuine nice - is about finding ways to say “yes.” It’s an ego-free devotion to the work. It’s about making better ideas happen, wherever they come from, whatever the obstacles.
Nice is a collaborative enterprise. Nice is a form of jiu-jitsu that looks for advantages in adversities. Nice brings its own mustard to 💩 sandwich parties. Because when you’re down in the trenches, it’s a lot more enjoyable working with folks who are nice.
Nice makes right.
