One habit that’s all too easy to fall into is to treat people like light switches–turn them on when you need their help, then ignore them until you need their help again. When you treat people this way, you send them a very clear message that you’re taking them for granted. Once people receive this message, they become turned off about going the extra mile for you and they take their best efforts to where they are better appreciated. To prevent this, regularly visit these same people and ask if there is anything you can do for them and do it. If you do, the next time you need favor, you can be sure that the answer will be yes. – Ross Reck
