Every parent tries to teach their children about how to have good manners and how to treat other people. Well now it looks like Mommy and Daddy's councils are coming in to play. Manners, as we have discussed in class, can make or break a person. They can indicate that you are not the right person for the job or that you should not be taken seriously; contrarily, it may do the opposite, the other person may have their feelings of doubt reinforced because of your manners and the way that you conduct yourself. These days life and success is heavily tied to impressions and who you know, make a bad impression with someone and you may as well just be committing professional suicide. The importance of having good manners and good personal awareness is a crucial skill to develop. Since manners, as well as self awareness in professional settings, are so important you might be asking what am I going to do? Well since today is Thursday, and it is never too early to start improvement, I will find at least one aspect in my life pertaining to my manners and courtesy by Monday, January 20, 2014, at I will work on improving that thing. This change will be part of the new me, a more pleasant and professional person. I invite anyone who is reading this post to do similarly, no one is perfect so why not find something that needs fixing and fix it. It may not be by Monday (you may not be readings this before the 20th) but give yourself a time frame and make it work. What do you have to lose? Worst case scenario you will become a more pleasant person, so hey give it a shot.
