| How to Be Nice (from wikiHow.com)
You've been told to be nice since you were a child, but what
exactly does it mean to be nice? "Nice" is a vague term to
put it. If your parents never gave you the break-down, here it is.
Steps
- Smile. A smile will
let people know that you are pleasant and inviting. If you smile at
someone, look them in the eye. For the most part, if you smile at
someone, they won't do anything but smile back. If they don't, then
maybe they are just having a bad day. It is up to you to set the
mood of the encounter. Make it happy by being the first to smile.
Normally, making faces or moody looks at someone is not being
nice.
- Say hello. When you're
walking past someone, even a stranger, try to acknowledge their
presence with simple "hello" or "hi" or even just a wave or a nod
in their direction.
- Ask people how they are doing. Take the time to ask
someone how things are going in their lives, without being nosy or
intrusive. If they seem resistant to talking, just let them know
that you're always around to talk to, and that you want them to be
alright.
- Be
a good listener. Listen when other people are talking to
you. It isn't nice to just ignore other peoples' opinions and
stories. If you find that someone is becoming rude or pushy,
acknowledge their opinion, issue a compliment ("Having your own set
of values and beliefs is pretty admirable") and excuse yourself
politely ("I'm sorry, I've got to go get the groceries so I can
meet my husband/wife when they get home.").
- Be courteous. Always say "please," "thank you" and
"you're welcome." You can also address people by sir or ma'am,
depending on the occasion. Be patient, observant, and considerate.
Treat people with respect. Even if you don't particularly like
someone at first, they could end up being a really interesting and
kind person.
- Be
positive. Don't be negative or critical. Keep looking for
the positive in any given situation.
- Be humble.
The key to being nice is remembering that you are not "better" than
someone else. You're an individual, but everybody has their
struggles, and being nice to one another makes life better for
everyone.
- Offer to
help. If you see someone struggling or doing anything,
offer to help, even doing something as simple as carrying a bag of
groceries, or hold the door for someone. You can also be nice to
the community and the world by volunteering.
- Be sincere.
Don't be nice as a means to an end. If you just want to be nice so
that you can gain preferential treatment, it's quite the opposite
of being nice--it's deceptive, shallow and cruel. Be nice because
you want to look back on your life and know that you were a nice
person, no matter what.
Well.... I don't think it's easy to be nice. Not that all the above mentioned are wrong. Those are "being nice" in a nutshell. You never know what people want and sometime will never be able to offer the right kind of support for them. A good intention is not all! I believe the result means more. Stop thinking that if you show that you are weak, the world would pity you. Stop being mean to people thinking that would make you look stronger.

1. 淹沒．（相關：水，死）
2. 沉迷不悟，過分，沒節制．（相關：愛，沉）
好日子過太久，身邊的一切都被淹沒了．
回憶裡就只有美的和沒的．
忘了自己的身份，也忘了殘酷的現實．
現實不一定是殘酷的，她有酸的，也有美的．
可是有時候，眼睛看出去，一切都變grey-tone了，
她的美也只能耐心點才看得到~*
Abraham lived for 175 years, and he died at a ripe old age, having lived a long and satisfying life. He breathed his last and joined his ancestors in death. (Genesis 25:7-8)
