Manners are very beneficial. Manners make us noblemen. We are called noblemen when we show good manners. Good manners make friends for us. Because people like to make friendship with the people of good manners.  But bad manners will surely turn our friends into our enemies. So, we should be very precise about our manners.

Good manners form an important part of our society.  So, we put too much stress on learning manners. Parents want to teach good manners to their children. Teachers want to teach manners to their pupils. Because manners are so important for us.

There are certain important principles on which all our manners should base. We should not hurt the feelings of others. We should avoid pride, anger and roughness of voice when we behave with others. We should speak less of ourselves. Our attitude should be emphatic. We should learn how to make appreciation of others. We should observe the forms of  behaviour like ‘please’, ‘kindly’, ‘thanks’, ‘sorry’, ‘no, thanks’, etc. when they are needed. We should be respectful to our elders, and superiors. We should be sincere in our attitude. We should not make false promises. We should never be liar.

Good manners are quite essential for us. So, students should try to observe good manners at every place. Teachers should guide them in this respect.
