Some are wise and some are otherwise

There is nothing wrong in practicing random acts of kindness.

The key to being a polite and well mannered person is to learn tolerance. I always tell people that the benefit of growing up in a small town is that you have to get along with people. You don't have the luxury of picking a group of friends that have the same tastes and outlook as you do.

Of course, I tell these same people that growing up in a small town can also be a disadvantage. By being tolerant you are sometimes perceived as not aggressive enough. This tag can follow you throughout your life and impact your boss' perception of your decision making ability.

I think the world would be a better place if we all celebrated people's differences instead of pushing everyone through the same cookie cutter.

Some Basic Rules of Civility

1. Don't put someone on the spot or in an uncomfortable situation.
2. Make sure not to tell a joke that might offend.
3. Maintain eye contact with the person you are speaking with.
4. Never speak badly of another. (It always gets back to that person)
