Be Nice To People

Dia selalu kata "Be nice to people".

Yeah, I just picked up the house line. It was a call from a rather well known florist in this city. Something about the flower arrangement for the wedding.

One can always tell if a person is classy or not. And in this particular case, the person calling was indeed the daughter of the owner of that business. She was looking for my Mom. But the way she spoke, though simple, told it all. She was courteous, polite, humble yet she sound so classy.

I mean she could have been arrogant, or proud, or anything. You could call them the florist to the Crown here. They are in charge of royal functions, too.

But no, they are nice people, despite the fact that they own a well-known business.

That's what classy means. Virtuous. Some people may look classy, but the moment they speak, it's all rubbish. What a tragedy.

Virtue is the truest nobility ~ Miguel De Cervantes
