A lot of points seem like don't be extreme in one direction or the other. Although I agree with most of the points, they all seem dependent on the situation.

The key is being aware of the people around you and of how you treat them. I think all of this can be summarized into try and be a decent human being and behave professionally

I prefer a list (albeit a non-exhaustive one) as it helps identify specific aspects, e.g., chattiness.
