• Compliment people behind their back. It’ll come back to you.
Such a hard thing to quantify – and attempting to quantify it misses the point – but I think this is such an under appreciated point.
I know that I am quick to gossip or talk about other people's failings behind their back. Partly, I think it is easy for people to relate to each other based on a shared view of someone else. And, unfortunately, I think it is easier to come up with negative examples to talk about.
Imagine if more of us found opportunities to say something good about someone just because.
