Being polite sounds easy and it should be, but there are times when it will prove to be difficult. The stress of getting both your immediate and long-term task accomplished can be so overwhelming that, in your desire to get from one step to the next, you may treat someone rudely. There really is no justifiable reason to treat anyone rudely, even when they treat you rudely. The treatment that you consider to be rude may simply be a conscious and deliberate way of doing business that has always worked for whomever you are dealing with. Always, take the high road and make every relationship-opportunity count by treating everyone with respect and consideration. Other than the obvious reasons for doing so, the reality is that you never know who you may be dealing with in the grand scenario. The person that you treated rudely, may be significant in the professional relationship now or in the future. You want to be known as the person that is always considerate and respectful. People are more likely to greet you with welcoming arms when they know you to be respectful and considerate. People are more likely to be positively-receptive to your offerings when they know that you respect their time and their decisions. Be polite, it is the right thing to do and you will never regret it, but you may regret being rude forever.
