Good manners mean being polite,respectful,thoughtful and helpful.
Be polite to everyone,no matter who he is.Say “please” and “thank you” whenever you want people to do something.Don’t be rude,insulting or demanding.Don’t be angry or upset.Even if you get angry,you should be patient and polite.
Show respect to everyone,male or female,young or old.Speak to them respectfully.Listen to their advice,and do not interrupt them.
Be thoughtful.Imagine yourself in the other’s position; respect their needs,wishes,and opinions.Consider their feelings,and don’t do or say things that will hurt them.
Help people whenever you can.Hold the door for one whose arms are full of packages.Offer to help an old woman to cross the street.If someone asks you for directions,take the time to help him if you can.This will brighten both his day and yours.
Having good manners makes things easier.When you are nice to people,they are nice to you in return.Show them good manners and they will do the same to you.
