Be nice because you want to be a nice person.
Work hard because you enjoy the work.
Take on more than you have in the past to extend your capabilities. Never take on "more than you should".
Never do any of these things for the recognition of others. Do these things because you want to do them.
One way I've seen this put is don't be nice, be kind. Nice is performative and 'nice' people can be two faced because they'll be 'nice' to both a bully and the bully's victim.
Being kind is more about empathy. And if you have empathy, you won't tolerate bullies. It's far more genuine and not just a performance for whoever you're currently in the company of.
