How To Maintain Good Manners In Every Field

Etiquette, the formal good manners, and rules which are followed in every professional or social aspect. Always writing "Thank You" at the bottom of the note is also the way of good manners and etiquette as well. Etiquette suggests the exact and right way to move forward, walk, and most important is how to behave in society. Etiquette helps you to be a cultural kind individual who always remains to leave his mark wherever he/she goes. Etiquette is also necessary for an everlasting first and last impression as well. All the way how you interact with your family, fellow workers, superiors, colleagues, and friends, speaks a lot about your personality. 

When you were a child, you must have been taught how to greet your elders and visitors to your home according to your culture and tradition. You might also have been told to be polite in a company and also keep quiet while others, especially when your elders are speaking. Possibly, at some time you even might have protested such disciplining. Now, probably you have known that you can't always behave the same way that you want especially in the presence of others. There are certain rules of good etiquette behavior you have to follow in a company. We know that we're social beings and must have to consider the effect of our behavior on others, even if we are at home and being with our family members.

You’re probably might be thinking that you have Good Etiquette and Manners already. Most of us believe we do. However, the more you hurry and the more stress you are under, the more manners are likely to slip-down. All of us, if we’re honest and faithful, will admit to forgetting to properly express gratitude for something when frazzled by life or feeling a huge temptation to push in front of somebody old when rushing to catch a bus.

However rushed you are, but you should always make the effort to show these good manners:

1.  Line up without pushing.
2. Compliment people when you need to (and when they deserve it too—no use throwing compliments around if they aren’t justified or have some value)
3. Never stick your nose inside where it isn’t wanted.
4. Keep a promise and always try to fulfill it.
5. Keep a secret because of no need to tell all the secret kinds of stuff.
6. Keep the basic table etiquette. (oh, come on, you know this stuff: no elbows, no talking with your mouth open, no over-stuffing your mouth, no flicking peas with your knife and many more as well)
7. Do not shout at people who get in your way.
8. Apologize whenever you get in someone else’s personal matters.
9. Always try to be civil type.
10. Do not swear or be religiously profane.
11. Always open the door ahead of people.
12. Always stand back when there’s a rush.
13. Try to answer when spoken to anyone.
14. Always greet people by saying “Good Morning.”
15. Always thank people when they’ve looked after you or done something for you.
16. Be hospitable and humble.
17. Observe the etiquette and manners of other 
18. Do not grab the last piece of cake or chocolates.
19. Be courteous and charming in front of people.
20. Offer visitors for their refreshments and go to the front door to say goodbye to them whenever they will be going. 

Good Etiquette and Manners to follow when you're out:

Good etiquette and manners must also be maintained whenever you are out of your house. It is because you are mainly only judged whenever you are out of your house, especially when you are in your relative's or neighbor's house. 

Following are the certain etiquette and good manner's rules which must be followed to maintain your's standard:

1. Never go for a visit without calling first.
2. Don't ask for the Wi-Fi password.
3. Always take off your shoes before stepping on the relative's lovely carpet.
4. Don't explore other's bedrooms without permission.
5. Don't raid the host's fridge or help yourself to find food without being offered by the host's. 
6. Don't bring your pet without asking first. I'm sure your chihuahua is the cutest thing ever, but in the house of somebody, it may have a pet allergy.
7. It is considered good etiquette and good manners to bring a gift for host's if you're invited to a party.
8. Never leave your umbrella open to dry, if you've taken it with you while raining.
9. Your open umbrella takes up a lot of space and might cause inconvenience moment to other people. You must have to just close it and put it on an umbrella stand or a hook.
10. A handbag or bag, whatever is with you, you must hang it on the back of a chair or put it on the floor if there isn't one.

In a wonderful book called  "Watching the English",* Kate Fox observes that in any small transaction, like buying a newspaper, there will be around three pleases and two thank-yous—and that’s a minimum. We have to interact with a whole host of people every day, and a little politeness has to be a good thing. The Rules Player must have to maintain its good etiquette and manners in all things and situations. And if you don’t know what good manners are, then you are in trouble.

No matter how many small interactions with people you have each day, don’t let the manners slip. They cost nothing and yet can generate so much goodwill and make everyone’s life that much more pleasant.
