Having good manners, even when no one is around, says a lot about how you see yourself and eventually how others will see you. Most people know how to put on a good show of manners when it matters; the key is to behave properly even when you think it doesn't. Make it a point to display good manners whenever and wherever you can. When behaviors are repeated and again, they turn into habits. Some may ask, “What’s the point?” Manners shift the attention from you toward others. Manners are the best way to show gratitude, display respect, and demonstrate kindness. And more than likely, other people will respond in kind.
