Mind Your Manners!
Good manners don't cost a thing. It's on a daily basis that I find myself struggling to understand how there are people in this world to whom manners are such an alien concept. I do my best to maintain a positive, even cheery nature, with the people I interact with. Even on days when I'm feeling a little low, I still do what I can to smile at cashiers in shops and apologise to people I accidentally bump into on the street. It's not their fault I'm feeling grumpy, so why should I take it out on them by letting my behaviour slip and being moody with them? No, that's better saved for when my brothers wind me up at home! Besides, my mother brought me up to be polite, so why shouldn't I? 'Treat others how you would expect to be treated yourself' and all that. Not to mention that my 'please's and 'thank you's have always just come naturally to me.
