It all began a year ago，after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I cant break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words Hows the baby？come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why cant I stop it？The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me. My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: All he ever does is complain；he talks at me rather than to me，never listen to a word I say，and yet for some reason Im always really nice to him. Im worried in case I have a difficulty one day，and he wont lift a finger to help. What about at work？Richard Lawton，a management trainer，warns: Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff，treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning. To explain the point，Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who，after making one of his managers fired，said with moist（湿润的）eyes that he was so，so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied If you were that sorry，I wouldnt be leaving. The lesson being，therefore，that if you try too hard to be liked，people wont like you. The experts say it all starts in childhood. If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，says Zelda West-Meads，a marriage guidance c
