Sometimes people are in such a hurry, they forget to be polite. As a child we learn most of these things. We could ask for something and if the word Please, didn’t follow, we never got what was ask for, We also had to remember that when we got something it was followed by the words “Thank You”
It was so simple to remember these two things. They set the ground work for all those other things we had to learn. No one appreciates politeness more than I do and I am sure we all respond faster if politeness is there.
Holding a door open for someone, not just for the crippled or an elderly person, but for everyone, is showing what kind of a person you are. Some people are un-aware that they should know these things, maybe they were just never taught. Many people that were not taught these things will learn just by being around or with others. But you will run into many people that do not or will they ever be interested in politeness and will display nothing but bad manners.
Today, most parents do not spend enough time with their children to teach them much of anything, They just let them do what ever they do, and this is always bad for every- one. It is really too bad that future parents can’t be sent to a training camp to learn these things themselves, before being allowed to have children. But we all know this would take a miracle of some kind. The way you speak or present yourself to others, will tell the kind of person you are.
When you speak to a person that you don’t know and try to explain something to them, do not over state or give unnecessary information, keep it simple and understandable. Confusion is difficult to make clear again. Think or even write down, what you want to say. and have all necessary information at hand.
Often, the person you are talking to, has no idea about what you are talking about and you will need to ask to talk with a person that would have the information that you are seeking. So before you state anything, be sure you are talking to the person that knows. Never give out any information that is not needed! That is just like giving you house keys to a stranger and telling them to be sure to turn off the lights when they are done stealing your stuff.
One can never learn all the lessons of life, to protect ones self, so be careful who you speak with and what you say. Even animals can understand your actions and what you are saying, but if they do not trust you, Look out! You may not have a hand left to put in your pocket. Your Mother should have told you all these things.
I have more to say, and it is about all of you that say you don’t have any time. Time comes and goes and that can’t be changed or slowed down or speeded up. You alone are in control, unless you just don’t care one way or the other. You are Born, you Live and you Die. It’s what you do in between that counts. Some people die poor, they have so much to do, most of it doesn’t get done or done right. It’s when their time grows short that they become aware of it. Those that die rich, is not because the have money or property and are living an easy life. The rich are those that have had a good life and time to enjoy friends and family along with good health. Health has a lot to do with time.
Some people live their life from day to day. Most make plans for what they will do on Monday through the week end. You rush to get here, rush to get there, and when the week is over, you start all over again. Some people think they have to work hard and fast to get all they can to make ends meet, If you would have had more time, would you have done something different ? But in the end, they are no farther ahead than those, who take the time to smell the flowers along the way.
You only have one life to live, so do it right and enjoy what you do. There is nothing that is set in stone, that says you have to do certain things at certain times. The things you miss doing along the way, you will never be able to do again. So love, Laugh and play what you will. Never try to win the Human Race, as there is only one winner in each of the races. Slow down and have a life1
As some, would tell me, all people do not think alike, some, like myself, have time to do things and others do not. Well! I try to practice what I preach and it works for many of us. I am sorry, but it’s your loss! So when you are ready to do something or go see some one, remember, they may not be there any longer
In my life, you are what counts the most, My love, to all you, special people that make life worth it all.
