Etiquette nowaday

1. Making others feel at ease is the essence of etiquette, yesterday and today. 2. There are few words more elementary or more welcomed than please and thank you. 3. Good moods are contagious. Hopefully, yours will be pleasantly catching. 4. Be aware and considerate of personal space - physical, visual, and aural. 5. Showing respect is a gift, one that cost nothing and endlessly appreciated. 6. Think of your tone of voice as a telegraph. To listeners, it speaks volume. 7. A short fuse does nothing but burn. Should you find yourself with one, steer clear of others. 8. Never underestimate the message that's sent by your poise and your posture. 9. Clothes count. Appropriate attire is not only respectful, it's refreshing. 10. Let common sense be your guide and graciousness your goal. -written by Kate Spade, 2003-
