That’s right, folks! Being pleasant when you interact with others is NOT overrated, irrespective of what anyone tells you. There’s this classmate of mine who I have on my Friends list on one of my IM clients. Everytime he opens an IM window, he wishes me a Good Morning/Evening. It’s only after these “formalities” are done that he gets to the point.

Despite the fact that I would have preferred not to mention this, I must say that he’s not the kind of student I would expect to show flashes of brilliance, academically or otherwise. He hangs out with the boys from class who constitute the “rowdy” gang. These are the boys for whom being cool is really important, ego is lifeblood, and gang brothahood means a lot. The bottomline is that you can’t help but feel that if they never really amount to much in life, they have no one but themselves to blame.

And amongst all of that, this boy manages to maintain a good level of professionalism and politeness. It’s a refreshing change from what I’ve come to expect from the high-speed IM life. Good on you, dude!
