BE GRACIOUS AND GENEROUS

Mika says, “Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Can’t afford to be angry with people who say no. It’s OK to fight for something, but folks don’t like to work with angry people. Business is more transparent, play clean. Always say thank you, don’t be too humble, don’t talk people out of the good stuff you do.” Growing up, how many times was I told that it’s easier to attract bees with honey than it is with vinegar? Adults made it clear that to be pleasant went a long way in life. Attitude and approach to all situations were drummed into me and my friends. Specifically as it relates to the jazz community (this applies to life), I have seen musicians blow opportunities because they appeared aloof or rude to people; some were, some were actually shy. Ask for feedback on how you are perceived. You may need to make some behavior adjustments. However, no matter how much tweaking you do, in the end, don’t take things personally; it is not always about you.
