Courtesy Begins At Home

         Given the hectic pace of life that many of us are leading now, it is easy to forget to be courteous to those around us. This need not be the case. As long as we make the effort to be polite to everybody, life need not be unpleasant. Courtesy can begin right from the home as we tend to take our family members for granted.

For a start, you can greet your family members when you see them in the morning. Nothing beats a pleasant greeting the first thing in the morning.

Give your mother a helping hand. Instead of waiting for her to tell you to help her with the household chores, take the initiative to do them yourself. You can help her to vacuum the floor, wash the dishes, clean the dining table and so forth.

For a change, talk to your younger siblings politely instead of talking down to them. You will be surprised at the response you get. They will talk properly to you too.

It is not that all difficult to be courteous. All it takes is a little effort on our part and everything will be so much more pleasant.
