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)
Treat everyone with politeness,
even those who are rude to you
- not because they are nice, but because you are.
