6. Don't Be Nosy

Ask people if they are doing well.. If you can, take some time to ask a person how things are progressing in their lives, without being too inquisitive. If they seem hesitant to talking, don't try to encourage that person to say more than they need to say.

7. Try Not To Discriminate

Don't differentiate between people you encounter. Attempt to be just as nice to everyone you meet. Even if you're nice to your friends, teachers, or family, but you aren't nice to people who from your perspective seem as popular or cool, you may not be as nice as you could be. Check Out How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie at Amazon.com
