One should develop good manners right from the very childhood. Good manners make us sensible and wise. Bad manners make us senseless and foolish. It is bad manner to talk aloud, to borrow things from others, when you don’t need them, to find fault in others and criticise others for small things, to show others down, to fight on small things, these are all bad manners.
One should develop good manners to be loved and respected in the society. We ought not to do anything, that trouble others.
While eating, don’t spill out the food on the table. Eat slowly, chewing every bite properly. Don’t speak much. Talk only when required. Don’t keep on repeatedly asking things from your friends. Return the books, copies, pens and pencils of your friends, once you have finished working.
Don’t make fun of your teachers and elders. Be respectful towards them. Don’t laugh aloud. Smile decently.
Be polite towards your friends, parents, teachers and guests, whomsoever you come in contact with. Develop good manners at a very early age to became a civilised citizen of your country.
