It really pays off to do things for people. A colleague asked me to swap my big and spacious classroom for her smaller and cramped one. I agreed because I’m a nice, accommodating person, and when my colleagues say they need something, I never doubt that their need is real.
At first, I didn’t recognize this new classroom but a few minutes into teaching, I remembered that this was the same room where I conducted my sample teaching class during my campus visit to this department. This was a place where I triumphed over a person who tried to sabotage me in a very nasty way so that I wouldn’t get the job. And I wiped the floor with her.
Now I have an enormous surge of energy and positive feelings whenever I enter this classroom. Today’s class has been fantastic as a result.
