Slide Content
OTHERS Polite manners provide something essential for living in society, teaching us to be human and civil with others. Courtesy and politeness are "little sisters" of other and greater virtues It is not about me
Little things matter Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Basic Courtesy : Politeness
Respect for Others: Listening when others are speaking, making eye contact, and not interrupting.
Golden Rule : "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Matthew 7:12 kindness and respect.
1. Instills Confidence We gain confidence by identifying the right thing to do in any given situation—and then doing it.
2. Makes the Best First Impression When you meet someone new, they don’t know anything about you. Naturally, assumptions are made based on how you carry yourself and behave—both in speech and manner. It can be an intimidating meeting someone for the first time, but having good manners eases that burden, and who knows where an excellent first impression will take you?
3. Cultivates a Heart for Others Think about manners in action. They look like: Holding the door for others Offering help Chewing with your mouth closed Making eye contact during conversation At the very root of good manners is a heart that is fixed on others before self.
4. Fosters Better Relationships What kind of people do you want to be friends with? To work with? Most likely, they wouldn’t be people who are rude, self-serving, loud-mouthed, and overall unpleasant. It’s natural to be drawn toward people who are polite, friendly, and mindful of others.
