Manners are stronger than laws. Thomas Carlyle

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Good Manners = $319 million

Here is a quick etiquette story that I hope
will put a smile on your face....
 
Did you hear about how good manners this week
led to the purchase of a $319 million winning 
lottery ticket -- and how bad manners caused 
someone else to lose out?
 
The man who eventually bought the ticket was
in line, and reached down to buy a Snickers bar.
When he did, the person behind him cut in front
of him, and bought a lottery ticket first.
 
The eventual winner didn't complain when the
other person cut in front of him. He graciously
let him go ahead of him.
 
And he was rewarded in a big way. By waiting
just one spot, he ended up with the winning 
ticket, worth $319 million. i
So, if anyone ever tells you that etiquette isn't
worth anything, you can reply that good etiquette
is hundreds of millions of dollars, and
bad manners can cost just as much.(etiquette moms)
