Now tell me, do you remember the last word that we discussed yesterday? It is Etiquette. As we all now know that etiquette is a certain set of rules that we are expected to follow in a particular group or situation. The easiest example is greeting our elders or wishing them good morning, good evening or good night. These are simple habits or etiquette that our parents or school teachers fix in our minds from our childhood by repeating them till we begin to apply them. This means that our parents and teachers inculcate good etiquette in us from our childhood.

 

We may have observed that some people in our network (maybe friends or colleagues or relatives) are always late and some always on time. Now, this habit of being on time and not to keep others waiting has been inculcated in them long ago. If good habits are inculcated from childhood itself, it is quite rewarding for that individual in several aspects. They can help us in networking, creating a positive impression of ourselves in our social circle and many times can contribute to career growth as well. Can you think of any person who is senior to you at your workplace? Does he display excellent manners and extends courtesies? Well, these would have been inculcated a long time ago. Now, these have become a habit for him or her.
