Yes, you read that right, Huey Lewis said it best "IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE!".
Some say that the nice guy finishes last, not true! I will be the first to tell you that all though I am
a nice guy, I refuse to finish last! You see, the world seems to think that to get ahead in life one
must cheat his way to the top or take advantage of someone, you know, step on the little guy on
your way to the top. Most people seem to think it's all a "zero sum" game, where someone must
lose in order for someone else to win.
I am here to tell you that is simply not true. I think of things as a win win for everyone involved.
My goal in everything I do is to make everyone get more then they expected from the deal or the situation.
I once heard of a real estate business man who operated off of this principle and he said that his reputation
grew because of it and that he always had more business then he knew what to do with because of this way
of thinking.
If everyone you come into contact with got more from you then expected when dealing with you, be it personal
of business dealings, then rest assured, you would be a well sought after person!
Personally, I am tired of everyone constantly taking advantage of each other, to me, it only makes sense to do
it a better way.
Ever since I heard of this philosophy I have tried to live by it in all my dealings, be it personal or business. I can
honestly say it has brought me great joy! When you do things for people that they are not expecting it opens
their eyes and makes them think that just maybe there is still some good in this world.
They are so taken back by it that they have to stop what they are doing and take a step back just to take a look at the situation, to admire it for all that it is.
This inspires hope in people, hope and belief that something greater then themselves is at work. This is a much
better way of doing business then you would ever imagine. Now people want to do business with you, they look forward to seeing you each time you have dealings and they refer more business to you then you may ever have the time to take care of.
In short, don't stop believing in the basic good in people. Help them see it and know that it is still there by showing them hope through your personal and business dealings with them. Believe me, you will be amazed at how much more your life is enriched by showing people hope rather then taking all you can get and leaving them nothing but frustration.
People need to be inspired and if your one person they can look to it will only help them and you both to live life to the fullest!
So, as the saying goes, "it's hip to be square", to me that means it's not only ok for you to approach people and situations in an honest way, but, it's also the coolest thing you can do in life!!
Live your Dreams....and never be afraid to chase them!
