How To Behave And Why -- Chapter WISE

We
get along with people and we make good friends
when we have polite manners like :

Shaking hands when we meet.
* *
Smiling and saying “good morning” or “good afternoon” or else.
* *
Saying “goodbye” when we leave and thanking people when
they have been nice to us.
* *
Saying ”Please” when we want something and “Excuse me” or
“I beg your pardon,” when we bump into something, or belch or yawn or cough or sneeze.
( And when we yawn or cough we cover our mouths. )
* *
Waiting for other people to finish talking before we start.
* *
Letting ladies and girls be “first”.
* *
Helping very old and very young people as much as we can, and being quiet and gentle
when we are them.
* *
Eating quietly without sprawling and grabbing or quarreling at the table. Asking to be excused when we have finished eating and are ready to leave.
* *
Being quiet and orderly when we go to places where there are a lot of other people – like libraries, movies or museums, theatres or classrooms, or in trains, street cars or busses.
* *
By never acting as though we were the only people in the world who counted, and never acting fresh and showing off to make people believe that we think we are better than they are.


“ I
can’t always be right
no matter who I am”
is a good thing for all
of us to remember.


Others people have ideas and thoughts
ways to do things
ways to work
ways to play
ways they think of GOD
and their country
and their race.
Their way can be just as right
as your way.
Remember that, and be glad you
have a chance to choose
the best of all ways.

Sailing
Together in a boat is a lot like learning to live with other people and be happy.


We learn to obey and
after a while we
learn to command
and help to make
the world a
better place
for all of us.

End
of the book is
what this is,
and if
YOU
Learned
to be

HONEST * FAIR * STRONG * WISE

Then you have learned
