My favorite part in the movie Disney Aladdin is when the Genie says to Aladdin "beeee yourself". He said this when he was a bee and it is a meaningful quote. Be yourself at work and people will like you. Never try to pose as someone else or to be someone you're not. This always will blow up in your face and make you look foolish.

When you try to fit into a new work place, it will be hard to do and this is depending on the type of people that you work with. Many people in this world shouldn't be trusted and it's hard to find some friends that won't backstab you or be 100 percent behind you. Did these tips work for you?
