MEANING OF THE WORD MANNERS AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN LIFE
What first is it that momentarily comes to your mind when considering an image of an ideal person? It will be some well-mannered person with splendid personality.
Manners are acceptable behavioral societal norms. A man’s manner is a mirror in which he reflects his portrait. Manner introduces us to people before we speak to them. Friendships are strengthened on the basis of good manners.
Having good manners would not only benefit oneself but will also contribute towards a more balance and sophisticated society.
Good manners will carry you where money, education, fame and status would not. Thus, “manners maketh man”.
