Ten characteristics of a well-mannered person

Thread Content

I. Punctuality. Whether attending a meeting or keeping an appointment, well-mannered people are never late. They understand that even unintentional tardiness is a sign of disrespect toward those who arrive on time. II. Speak in a measured manner. Be careful not to interrupt others casually; always listen to what they have to say first, before offering counterpoints or adding to their views and opinions. III. Be polite. When talking to others, always look into their eyes and maintain focus ； Instead of flipping through things, reading books and newspapers, being distracted and giving the impression of indifference. IV. The tone is appropriate. Avoid loud noises; when interacting with others, remain calm and persuade them with reason, which often yields satisfactory results. Speaking at the top of one’s voice not only fails to achieve the desired goal, but it also disturbs those around, and can even make people dislike you. V. Pay attention to conversation skills. Respect others’ opinions and views; even if one cannot accept them or agree with them, one should not call them \"nonsense\" or \"absurdities\" in front of them. Instead, one should express one’s own views, analyze the situation, and explain the reasoning behind them. VI. Be not proud. When interacting with others, one never emphasizes personal uniqueness nor tries to show a sense of superiority. VII. Keep one’s promises. Even in the face of difficulties, they do not break their promises. If you speak about something, you must do your utmost to fulfill it; action is the best promise. VIII. Care for others. At all times and in all places, care is shown, along with the greatest attention and convenience, for women, children, and the elderly. IX. Generosity. Be open-minded when interacting with others; don’t get into arguments with friends or colleagues over trivial matters, nor cut off relationships because of them. X. Compassionate. When others encounter misfortune, try to offer sympathy and support.
