A WISE MAN ONCE SAID
1. Don’t call someone more than twice in a row. If they don’t answer, they probably have something important to do.
2. Pay back money you borrowed before the person asks for it. This shows that you are responsible. The same goes for borrowed items like umbrellas and pens.
3. Don’t order the most expensive food when someone else is treating you to a meal.
4. Don’t ask personal questions like “Why aren’t you married yet?” or “Why don’t you have kids?” It’s not your business.
5. Always hold the door open for the person behind you, whether they are male or female, older or younger. Treating people well does not make you less important.
6. If you share a taxi with a friend and they pay, offer to pay next time.
7. Respect different opinions. What seems like a 6 to you might look like a 9 to someone else. Getting a second opinion is also good.
8. Don’t interrupt when someone is talking. Let them finish what they want to say.
9. If you tease someone and they don’t like it, stop immediately and don’t do it again. It shows you care about them.
10. Always say “thank you” when someone helps you.
11. Give compliments in public but address problems privately.
12. Don’t comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look great.” If they want to discuss weight loss, they will bring it up.
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe through their pictures. You might accidentally see something private.
14. If a coworker says they have a doctor’s appointment, don’t ask why. Just say, "I hope you’re okay." Respect their privacy.
15. Treat everyone with respect, whether they are a cleaner or a CEO. People notice how you treat others.
16. If someone is talking to you, don’t stare at your phone. It’s rude.
17. Only give advice when someone asks for it.
18. When you see someone after a long time, don’t ask how old they are or how much money they make unless they want to talk about it.
19. Stay out of other people’s business unless it directly involves you.
20. Take off your sunglasses when talking to someone on the street. It shows respect. Making eye contact is important.
21. Don’t brag about your wealth when you are with people who are less fortunate. Also, avoid discussing your children around those who cannot have kids.
22. After receiving a nice message, say "Thanks for the message."
Showing appreciation is an easy way to get what you want!
