I find that kindness, flexibility and manners go far when it comes to getting what you want in life.\u00a0 I\u2019ve found that it\u2019s important to put these things first \u2013 even when the situation makes you want to do the exact opposite. Yes, it would be nice if everything in life flowed exactly the way you wanted.\u00a0 Then your world would work out perfectly as well.\u00a0 But we all know that life flows its own way and its up to us to go with it with wisdom, grace, and poise.<\/p>\n

The time will come when you must first think about the needs of others or those of the project and cause at hand.\u00a0 Often these situations show up at the most inopportune times; but that\u2019s precisely when it\u2019s essential to consider the other person you work with and try to understand that your actions and demands may cause a ripple effect for the project.<\/p>\n

Humility, gentleness, and helpfulness go so much further and opens door that you cannot imagine.\u00a0 Think from a higher level and try to see beyond today.\u00a0 Some hard work and insight will bring you to paths that will reward you so highly, it\u2019ll make the little inconvenience you incurred so worth it.<\/p>\n

Get your foot in the door first; prove yourself before your own interests and stipulations, rather than attempting to show what value you bring to the table right from the beginning.<\/p>\n

When working with others, remember the key component to a successful partnership: it\u2019s not always about you, it\u2019s about the big message and the project at hand.<\/p>\n

It is often by taking uncommon roads, that we attain uncommon joys and triumphs. \u2764 Joyce Soriano<\/p>\n
