Inspirational Quotes

Good manners cost nothing—but they say everything about you.

  • Don’t call someone more than twice in a row. If they don’t answer, they probably have something important to do.
  • Pay back money you borrowed before the person asks for it. This shows that you are responsible. The same goes for borrowed items like umbrellas and pens.
  • Don’t order the most expensive food when someone else is treating you to a meal.
  • Don’t ask personal questions like “Why aren’t you married yet?” or “Why don’t you have kids?” It’s not your business.
  • Always hold the door open for the person behind you, whether they are male or female, older or younger. Treating people well does not make you less important.
  • If you share a taxi with a friend and they pay, offer to pay next time.
  • Respect different opinions. What seems like a 6 to you might look like a 9 to someone else. Getting a second opinion is also good.
  • Don’t interrupt when someone is talking. Let them finish what they want to say.
  • If you tease someone and they don’t like it, stop immediately and don’t do it again. It shows you care about them.
  • Always say “thank you” when someone helps you.
