How do you set yourself apart from the masses in this Hi-tech, fast paced world? The answer is a lot simpler than you might think. Just as common sense is hardly common, good manners in today's world are almost extinct but are certainly treasured when on display.

Example: Speak! Nothing is quite as annoying as watching a friend's or neighbor's child grow from the toddling years to that of a teenager and find that as an adult you are now invisible to that teenager. You can be a rascal and a scoundrel, but much will be forgiven by an adult if you greet them with a friendly smile and a warm "hello". How do you know if they see you? Real simple, if you see them, they can (and do) see you. Speak! PS As my mother used to say, "...you'll never get even if you stop speaking". Always speak, even if you're mad at someone. It will keep them guessing and drive them nuts. Excuse Me (I Burped) Achieving Your Very Best by Learning the Secrets of Good Manners and Common Courtesy is intended for both males and females.
