1. Don’t call someone
more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have
something important to attend to;
2. Return money that you have borrowed even
before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your
integrity and character. The same goes for umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a
lunch/dinner.
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married
yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you
buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
5. Always open the door for the
person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or
junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
6. If you take
a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
7. Respect
different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone
facing you. Besides, a second opinion is good for an alternative;
8. Neverinterrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all
and filter them all;
9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it,
stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how
appreciative you're;
10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
11. Praise
publicly. Criticize privately;
12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on
someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about
losing weight, they will;
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone,
don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
14. If a colleague tells
you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope
you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you
their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your
inquisitiveness;
15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody
is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice
if you treat them with respect;
16. If a person is speaking directly to you,
staring at your phone is rude;
17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t
ask them their age and salary;
19. Mind your business unless anything involves
you directly - just stay out of it;
20. Remove your sunglasses if you are
talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is
as important as your speech; and
21. Never talk about your riches in the midst
of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the
barren.
22.After reading a good message try to say "Thanks for the message".
APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don't have...
