How to Have Good Manners
In order to present a good impression to others, you need to act like you weren't raised in a barn! It is very difficult to deal with people that have no manners or have no concern for others. One of the biggest societal issues we face today is a general lack of respect for what has been taught in history in regards to human concern and compassion for those you do not know well.
"Good Manners" are indeed an increasingly archaic school of ideas and actions that display respect, care, and consideration. All humans have a basic right to help one another and feel positive about themselves and others around them. In our age of self-satisfaction, cell phone technology and instant internet gratification - it is sometimes hypothesized that we care more for our equipment and high tech gadgets than the very people they are made for.
If you don't have an etiquette resource you should keep reading for more ideas. Consider picking up an etiquette book. There are many available. Some community colleges offer weekend lessons in etiquette and most are open to all ages. Taking a class is a great idea for teens, professionals or anyone looking to make better impressions.
If, instead, you would rather learn from real-world examples - study the positive effects of those who display good manners and how people react to and around them. It's basic common sense that everyone prefers to be treated with a good amount of respect. If you nurture plants, animals, or other humans, not only will they grow and bloom - but you will as well. Outside of material goods - the basic thing we all really own in life are ourselves and our actions.

As some of you know, I recently had a situation with a Newbie that I've been trying to get corrected as it truly caught me off Guard. Anyone who has ever taken the time to research me know that I love to teach and that I will not beat around the Bush and I don't do it because I am a bad trader or a Rude trader or because I just don't care.

I do it because I do care, I do give a hoot and if I have to give you a long discourse and give you a speech of this that or the other of what you...

I think that the GOLDEN rule to remember here is that it is not AGAINST the Rules to Overpay or Underpay. There is no SET amount to Pay..........NEWBIES have the Responsability...to Learn....We have to Remember that Traders doing this are NOT breaking any Rules.

Remember too that we do provide a Training Service and also you just never know if they are paying less for one thing but giving them almost all of it on the following trades...

We all have different technigues

Give gratitude. If someone gives you a gift, goes out of their way for you or provides a service which you appreciate you should write a thank you note.

Not an email unless you are at work and you should still write a thank you note for a gift. Saying "thank you" is just not enough. You should always keep a box of thank you cards in your office and at home.
Some people think spelling things wrong is normal. It's actually a sign of bad manners and poor intelligence....

· Don't eat while talking on the phone. Making smacking noises in someone's ear isn't nice and doesn't show good manners. Don't eat while talking, and chew with your mouth closed.
· Never carry your conversation into a bathroom. Somethings are just meant to be private and not shared over the phone.
· If you must carry on two conversations at once you should always excuse yourself from one of them and resume it later.
· Say, "I'm sorry, hold on one minute, my boss is telling...
