Today, make someone feel like the only person in the room.
Everyone deserves charm and loveliness. Being charming to difficult people transforms them.
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious. ~Oscar Wilde

I can't say that I've ever thought of it that way... people are either charming or tedious. But, I suppose, it's entirely accurate! I try to be charming... I try to listen and be genuine. I have a very hard time being charming with difficult personalities though--those who are disrespectful, crabby, the humbugs as it were. I just can't pour any of my energy, positive or negative (although I'm still working on the negative) into those people. They're like black holes.
I will say that I went out of my way to speak to some of the more positive souls that I work with every day, but typically don't say more than "good morning" to them. Not because I'm being outright rude, but because we just don't see each other that much. I had a lovely conversation at lunch though, with someone I wouldn't normally talk to very much. Also, it was a lot of fun to say hello and/or pass along holiday greetings to strangers in the halls or out at the shops.
