"You're right," he said. "All you can do is be nice. Treat them decent, you know?" [page 117].

I love that quote by Henry Dobbins. It's simple, yet so true. People don't seem to realize that they will get farther in life by simply being nice to everyone around them. Smiling at a person that walks by could change their life. Maybe that's too drastic for every day life, but I truly believe that if people were a little nicer in this world, we might not have as much conflict.

I can't say I'm perfect whatsoever, but I sure as heck try to be nice. I don't know about you, but I feel like it's pointless to be mean. There are times when human selfishness kicks in and all you can think about is "Bring anger, bring pain!" but when you look back on it, isn't it so stupid? Everyone is a person and wants to be treated rightfully so.

Alright, I'll stop preaching now...but don't forget to try to make an extra effort to smile at someone today :D
