Manners, manners, manners…………Oh! We hear about them everyday, at home and at school. But have we ever sat back and thought about “The importance of good manners”.
We children think that manners are boring, but we are learning something we will benefit from for the rest of our lives.

We kids have a hard time remembering rules; rules at home, rules at school and rules when going out etc. My dear friends over the next few minutes I will try to convince you all on the importance of learning and practicing good manners.

Manners are the un-enforced standards of conduct which show a person to be cultured, polite and refined. They set a standard for human behavior. What is considered to be “mannerly” is highly susceptible to change with time, geographic location, social stratum, occasion and other matters. Manners matter is evinced by the fact that large books have been written on the subject and that schools have existed for the sole purpose of teaching manners.
Good manners are he first mark of good breeding and reflects directly on a person’s upbringing; therefore learning good manners begins at home and should be taught by parents.
Good manners do not come naturally, they have to be learnt. If children were not told and shown how to behave politely they will grow up rough and rude like savages.

Manners are something used every day to make a good impression on others and to feel good about oneself. Good manners are more than “opening doors” and “writing thank you notes”. While opening doors for others and writing notes is nice, true courtesy goes deeper. Being polite and courteous means considering how others are feeling.

If we practice good manners, we are showing people around us that we are considerate of their feelings and respectful. We are also setting standards for other’s behavior and encouraging them to treat us with similar respect. “Treat others the way you want them to treat you”.

Good manners are not the same in all countries as different nations have different customs. In England it is a mark of respect to take your hat off in another persons house or when you meet people you know in a street, but in India it is polite to keep the hat on and rude to take it off.

However good manners may be different in different places, the principle of good manners is always the same everywhere – it is consideration for the feelings of others.

Good manners are very important as they teach us the way to behave in society. They enable us to make favorable impressions on others, in school, at job interviews, in business and in just about every situation in life.
> >
Children who understand and practice good manners feel more self confident and become more proactive in their dealings with adults. This feeling of self confidence is very important to our future success.

In the end I would like to say, Friends we can make a difference………..in our school………in our community……..in our state……….in our nation by practicing Good Manners
