good manners

good manners do hot come naturally.they have to be learnt and ccltivated. chilren should be thught to  behave well from their childhood  Without such atraining they would grow up rough and rude like savages.  As  the sociey doesnt tolerate te such  behavior,they will have a hard time in their life. people shun those who donot care for manners. so an ill- mannered person will be unpopular in his home school boarding           house workplace library and in brief everywhere he goes.this will make his life unpleasant and un happy.

                      goodmanners are the mark of a gentleman.they are are the sure characteristics of a man with a good upbringing. the  consideration for other people;s feelings is the cream of good manners.Aperson whorespects other’s feelings never says things that will hurt them. he willneither speak nor behave says things that willhurt them.he willneither speak nor behave in a rude manner. some peole takepride in insulting  others and behaving in an offensive manner. they are of the wrong belief that it is a sure way of winning their respect.no one has been successful  in that  manner.the root causes of bod manners is selfishness and foolishness. when driven by selfishness, a person thinks only of himself.he thinks that he  should  have everything in his only of himself.he thinks that he should have everything in his own way. we call him afool because it is impossiple for one to have his own way in life.A well mannered person is selfess and  intelligent he gives priority to the comfots,feelings and happiness of the others rather than his own. well mannered  people re loved by all. they command the respect of others  with ease..
