Be Polite

It sure pays to be polite. A polite person puts everyone around them in a great mood. By politeness, I do not mean following social rules just to follow rules. So what if you rudely toast Her Majesty with something other than water. Or, horror of horrors, you mix up your dessert fork with your salad fork.

By politeness I mean showing others around you that you care about them and respect them. Politeness might mean holding a door open for someone. Or offering up your seat on the subway to an elderly person. Or letting someone pass ahead of you into the elevator.

Be polite to everyone you meat, because you just never know when you will meet them again.
