Courtesy

Courtesy may be defined as the practice of ideal moral and social behaviour with others. It simply means to exhibit decent manners and polite attitude towards others. Courtesy is an act of civility and decent behaviour. A courteous man modest, tasteful and in his words and acts.

Courtesy is of huge importance in our lives. We cannot live a smooth, peaceful and social life without being courteous. Courtesy adorns our character and outshines our personality. Courteous behavior not only keeps us united in the family but also build durable and long-lasting relations. 

 The small courtesies sweeten life; the greater ennoble it - Christian Nestell Bovee

We have to show courtesy in every walk of life. We must be courteous to our elders, our youngers, our seniors, our juniors, our neighbours and friends. It is the law of nature that "as you sow, so shall you reap". Being courteous, you can expect the same behaviour from others. Do respect, have respect. Courtesy is a two-way behaviour. It may not be possible that one is rude and harsh and others will be courteous and soft.
