This quote made me think about the perks of being pleasant to one's fellow humans Here are just a few of them:

If you are pleasant:

• People typically are nice back.
• You most likely have close friends who you can trust and who trust you.
• Your friends randomly buy you coffee/tea/something nice because they like you (and know that you'd do the same for them.)
• If when you go away for a bit or alter your routine and stop going somewhere for a while, people tell you they missed you and are glad when you come bac.
• People pay you complements.
• You get invited out to do things with other people.
• You have more reasons to laugh  and smile  (and more people laugh with you and smile back.)
• People are more likely to hug you.
• You help others feel happier.
• You give others a reason to smile.
• Life is more fun!

I like being pleasant because for me it really is the only way to be or at the very least strive to be.
