Is there any benefit and saying Good mourning to people you work with?

I once had a coworker whose goal was to say “Good morning” to every person he met at work in the morning. His intention was to initiate the greeting before they spoke to him.

Back when I was in school, I had a teacher that I didn’t really like because I figured her to be pseudo! She made a point of saying “Good morning” to all of us each morning, but I rarely responded. At the time I didn’t realize how rude that really was. Now I try to say “Good morning” to the people I work with whether I know them or not.

 Even if you aren’t a “morning person” you can learn this habit of good communication. (If you dread communicating with others first thing in the morning, then you especially will benefit.) Consider these reasons you should be saying “Good morning” to your coworkers.

 1. “Good morning” is polite and welcoming. Common courtesies make the world a nicer place. In addition, they are small but important “lubricants” that help keep friction from developing between people. When you say “good morning” you are not only greeting the person, but you are wishing them well for the day.

2. “Good morning” acknowledges the other person’s presence. Your coworker is present—acknowledges them. A “good morning” goes at least a little way toward making them feel welcomed. Ignoring a person is rude and it sets the tone of how we will treat others. Ya know, internal and external customers deserve the same respect-Right???

 3. “Good morning” is an easy way to break the silence. Sometimes if we don’t speak to a coworker when they arrive, then we don’t feel like speaking at all. It’s like we’ve missed our best chance to get the day’s communication off to a good start. If the other person begins work for the day without speaking to you, the silence can go on and on. And the longer it goes, the harder it is to break. It always boggle's my mind why this behavior is expected and accepted in work places!!!

4. “Good morning” is an easy way to start a conversation. Conversations are so important. Many of the things that make a workplace pleasant—camaraderie, friendships, a congenial atmosphere—revolve around conversations. Saying “good morning” each morning is an easy way to get the day’s conversations off to a pleasant start. It allows you to approach your coworker with what you have to say. Conversely, if your coworker has been hesitating to discuss something with you, or has been waiting for the right opportunity, a greeting gives them an opening.

We can't ignore the Donald Sterling rule in society! Some people may not like you because of your skin color and will never like you. It was once said that 25% of people will never like you, 25% don't like you at first but can change, 25% like you at first and can change that view also, and 25% of people are gonna like you no matter what happens (usually family or Pacer fans toward each other). All I am saying is, if a company exists to make money, then the employees would behoove the business by being as if paid actors who come to work and give the best performance daily. After all we  are "ALL WITNESSES".....
