Zweli's friend had a classic run-in with a bouncer the other night—those types who act like they control your entire night’s fun. He remarked to Zweli, “He’s just mad because he peaked in life,” but unfortunately, the bouncer caught wind of it and promptly kicked him out. This incident made Zweli reflect on the importance of being polite to certain people, as they can easily complicate your life if you rub them the wrong way. Take visa officers, for instance; they hold the power to grant or deny your entry into a country, and a minor mistake or a bad attitude can derail your travel plans or career prospects. Customer service reps can either resolve your issues quickly or leave you stuck in a frustrating loop of hold music. Even a receptionist can significantly impact your day; a warm greeting can make everything smoother, while a grumpy one can turn simple tasks into a hassle. Then there are teachers and professors, whose influence on your grades can shape your educational journey. Building a good relationship with them can open doors, while a strained one might cost you valuable guidance and support.
