The word politeness, reminds all of us about the rules of etiquette—the rules for dining, for sending and answering invitations, for giving and receiving gifts, for proper dress for an interview or party , that is basically the mannerism at a given point time. It means to act according to the situation but in a slow and decent manner.

Politeness can be negative and positive both, and, both of these forms of politeness are responsive to the desire to be viewed positively by others, to be thought of favorably and the desire to be autonomous, to have the right to do as you wish . Furthermore, Politeness, refers to behavior that allows others to maintain both positive and negative face.

Positive politeness comes when you are slow and thoughtful in doing your work as speed in any aspect results in impatience and rudeness.  But when we look for a civilized world, a world in which manners, consideration for others, and politeness counts, we expect politeness first.

Politeness comes when you are slow but steady to work and think in a decent way.   Slowing down is an ideal thing to choose as you get to control and manage your multi tasks thoughtfully.

A slow lifestyle is polite. One thing about being slow is that it makes time to be considerate of others.  Thinking of doing the quantum of work at a given time but not able to accomplish in time adds frustration in mind. Thus, impatience adds to the sum of minor frustrations that builds up into full-blown dullness. The best thing is that slowing down helps your mind to be away from the dullness which is entering slowly but dangerously in you.

Having slow movement  helps us in  being more considerate and civilized. Slowing down makes you attractive and decent in the crowd. It seems like a sound idea, but it’s easier said than done.

 I believe that preaching politeness is easy but practicing is difficult. We need to make politeness a daily habbit if we desire to be polite in all the situations by restricting ourselves to some quantum of work than to accomplish the whole lot which we have planned in our mind.

Practising politeness is a matter of time and determination and does have instant result and hence it is worth learning. One can easily make it a habit.

Everyone around you likes politeness, be it your family, friends or at workplace.   All the people who come into your contact love politeness. Talking to someone with politeness creates an impression in the listener’s mind that you respect him/her and he too will reciprocate in the same manner. Just try one time, and do it sincerely and you will be surprised with the result.

Politeness has the power to change the atmosphere anywhere. Make it your personality trait. Make politeness your brand.

Once you practice this trait and see that people around you will change their attitude towards you.
