I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away form that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first, or never saying “Thank you“ when others hold the door open for them. We get lazy. And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple “Thank You“ doesnt really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we decorate we home, we cant be truly elegant without good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Havent you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? Its funny,how that happens. But it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “Thank you“ like wearing a little makeup or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying “Thank you“ can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to you image while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly.
