MANNERISM.

It is quite common to walk down the streets and somebody just rudely brushes your shoulders without even a second thought. Leaving you wondering if you had wronged the individual or you had caused him/her so much pain he/she was taking it out on you.Many a times we tend to just take things for granted, for example you enter into a bus and someone sees that you do not have a seat they offer you theirs, but instead of saying thank you, you sit down and pretend it is quite a common act.

There are four wheels of mannerism that we all ought to live by.These entail, “thank you”, “sorry”, “excuse me” and “please”. All this are key components of living in a more civilized manner and in relation with each other. Everywhere you go, you will find that such simple words are never uttered for an act done for us.Simple as they are, not many have the audacity of saying them.

As human beings we have a tendency of just taking things as they are.It does not matter if you are the CEO of a big company, but saying thank you to an employ who has put all his/her efforts to ensure you attain your goals is not to much to ask.But no, most of us say, “kwani yeye ni nani nimwambia asante na anafanya chini yangu….”. This kind of mindset is killing the faith in humanity.

We are so filled with a superiority complex whereby we deem others as being beneath us.It will not cost you a dime to be courteous to somebody even if you do not know them.Holding a door for someone to pass,when served with a drink or beverage saying thank you and so on. The human nature has become clogged with our status quo in society we forget where we come from.

At times a man will compliment a lady but the lady will take it as if the man wants something from her.A woman may be kind to a man & he may consider it as a sign she is into him.There are certain lines that need not be confused with the happenings in our every day life.The basic act of politeness should not be taken for granted, we may come from various backgrounds but we should not let that define us.

In all you do humble yourself, if you are in the wrong do not but be the first to say,’i am sorry’. If you want to use some thing kindly say,’excuse me may i…’. If you want someone to do something for you say,’please would you…’. The simplicity of such words will not cost you anything.Try and use them as often as you possibly can but know this how you treat others is how they will treat you.
