Do You Generally Like People?

One of the things that seems to make people successful is that they generally like people. Good leaders generally like and care for people. It is amazing to be how much power a smile has.

Yes, as I find a smile can be as powerful as you can imagine, you can simply solve almost whatever problem you meet !

Oh I agree. A lot of time I have to force myself to smile when I answer the phone. Believe it or not, a smile can be transferred down the phone line. Thanks for commenting.

Generally, I don't like a lot of people, especially other people my age. They're annoying, selfish, and just plain rude. I don't make it a point to try and like people either, just seems rather pointless to me. I'd rather just do my own thing and go about my own business.

I hear ys, but I also feel that you need people sometimes. There are times when you need people and you will be glad that you found some redeeming quality in them.

I do. Every person I see has a clean slate in my mind. I don't know what is going to come out of their mouths, but until they talk, I plan on forming an amiable acquaintance, if not a friend. Life is so much easier when you just like and accept people, not criticize and reject.

That is such a good attitude. I agree that everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves wrong.

Yes I have to agree the power of a smile is very much underestimated. It can lift you when you are down and send you soaring when you need it most. While good leaders should care for people, on a global level you have to ask which people are leaders are exactly caring for. Unfortunately for me I am not a huge fan of most people. I find animals to often be more comfort and understanding than a lot of people. Don't get me wrong there are some people in my life that I like (a lot!) but as a general rule I think a lot of people are seriously flawed and I question whether I want to be a part of mankind as we now know it. Maybe it is just the people where I live!
