Why do manners matter? They make others feel better,
and
they cause others to like and respect
you. As a result, you feel
better, too.
Practicing good manners boils down to treating
others
the way you would like to be treated. Some manners,
like saying “Please” and “Thank you,” become second nature.
You barely have to think about them. But that doesn’t mean
these small courtesies aren’t meaningful to others
around
you. Other manners require a little
more thought: cheering
up a friend who has
done poorly on a test, holding a door
open
for someone, or paying someone a compliment. In this
