Do not seem over zealous or like a brownoser, it helps if you share common interest and can add to a plseant conversation with them, show up on time and and complete your work but do not show off and make them look bad by preforming better than them.

thanks for sharing this. but, you know, no matter how hard you try, you could never get everyone to like you or you could never please anyone at all. i've been behaving very professionally at the office, treating everyone with respect and all that, and yet i still get criticized. but i try not to get that into my head and just concentrate on my work. after all, i have an obligation to my office, and not to my co-workers.

This is a pretty good list and makes sense, however you should not praise people indiscriminately. Praised should only be given when it is due, not as a matter of course. One that is missing is "be honest". It should never be about having other people like you, but rather that they respect you. :)
