I’ve heard people, females in particular, saying things along the lines of, ‘You need to be a bitch to make it to the top.’ The funny thing though, is that those people are usually nowhere near ‘the top’. I have reason to believe that this is because you need to, in fact, be nice in order to get ahead in life. And as I sit in the seventeen offices, this theory is, once again, proving to be correct.
Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of America Vogue, has nothing on our lady Khwezi; she is elegant in the most humble manner. She is easy-going, and ‘cool’ by definition. She is successful and I think it’s safe to say she is right at ‘the top’ of the game. But above all, she is nice, yes; this magazine editor is one of the nicest people ever. I reckon she has risen to the top not only because of her big brain and hard work, but also because of her personality.
People prefer those who are nice, and when working in the media industry, where people depend on each other, it pays to be nice. Not fake, but genuinely nice. Treat people with respect, be kind and friendly. And together with hard work, you will surely make a success of yourself.
On that note, the other 17 Academy girls are the sweetest little bunch. Today I got to know them a bit better and boy, are they cute. We ate lunch together on the 22nd floor, and took a few pictures on our way back.
Stay sweet,
Charné!
