Good Manners

Introduction: Good Manners refers to polite, humble, courteous, respectful and well-cultured
social behavior. A man or woemn, above everything else, is esteemed and distinguished on
account of his or her good manners. A human-being is distinguished from brutes not on account
of his intelligence alone but also on account his behavior and manners.

Importance of good manners


A well-mannered man is respected and esteemed wherever he goes and esteemed in whatever
condition of life he may be. A rich man or a high-pedigreed person, bumped with all titles
without good manners, is hated in an ideal society. On the contrary, a poor man, with tattered
clothes, but having delightfully good manners is sure to attract everyones attention and win
everybodys liking.

Among students in particular, preservation of good manners is a boon. It is a pity that on account
of lack of manners in the modern students, an ugly and unpleasant atmosphere of indiscipline has
been created. Good manners cost nothing. One the other hand they pay us a lot.

Examples of good manners


Say, Thank you when you receive anything from someone,
Say, Please while requesting for something,
Say, Excuse me to get attention for something,
Compliment other for their good qualities,
Always knock the doors before entering others bed-room,
Be respectful towards your elders, and teachers,
Be compassionate towards someone who is in pain,
Listen attentively when someone is talking to you,
Be courageous enough to accept your mistake and never hesitate to say, Sorry.
Always be ready to help others around you,
Clean your shoes regularly.
Always seek permission before touching or using something that belongs to someone
else.
If someone asks a question, try to respond with a smile.
Do not interrupt in between the sentences when someone is speaking. Instead, wait for
your turn.

Conclusion
We, the dwellers of this land of great and noble personalities, must exhibit above all other
things, an ideal force of character through our everyday manners, imbibed with nobility and
spiritual sublimity.
It has been rightly said that manners make a man. Standard of good manners differs from
country to country. But one thing is common to all that is to show respect and reverence to all
with whom we come in contact.
