Acknowledge other people’s existence
We don’t live alone in this world. We are always surrounded by family members, relatives, friends, colleagues and of course, people we meet but do not know. We see them all the time. The security guards, the cleaners, the cashiers, the salesgirls, etc. Each and everyone of them has come into our life in the past and will do so in the future.
But do we ever notice them? Do we ever acknowledge that they are there?
People tend to notice only their friends or people they know. If you know someone you don’t know looking at you, you will most probably ignore and just walk away.
Maybe from now onwards, you can make a change. Greet people you don’t know in the lift. Smile. Or, if you notice that someone you don’t know is looking at you, just smile politely. Or if a salesgirl approaches you and you’re not interested, just say sorry, smile and walk off slowly.
Never pretend they’re not there. It’s rude. And also, by acknowledging others, you might be able to make their day a better one. So, why not?
