#Watmijopvielindekrant With nice people you can muffle the canal, says a typical Dutch proverb. I was reminded of that when I read a quote from Fred Rogers at the beginning of his biography:
“There are three ways to great success: 1. be nice, 2. be nice, 3. be nice.” There's no shred of sarcasm or irony in that.

We Dutch should chew on that.
