To members of our family, either we used to shout at them or do not bother to respond to their requests. As we are too familiar with each other, we do not appreciate or cherish them.
Inside a convenience store, a woman shouted at her husband,"Can't you hurry up? You are worse than a woman!"
To her son who was selecting his drink, she yelled,"You better don't take so much cold drink!"
Then she turned around and spoke to the cashier softly,"Can you please put my purchase into two separate bags?"
Such scenario is vey common.
For example, the husband in the office is an active and talkative person. He is considered as a very humourous person and a livewire of any party by his colleagues.
Back home he is very quiet as though he is suffering from autism. He either with his eyes glued to the television or the newspapers, or worst still entirely closed his ears to his wife's talking.
To people with whom we are familiar, we forget that we need to have good manners. This attitude is wrong.
Be friendly to our colleagues will enhance the friendly atmosphere of the workplace. Be considerate to our friends will enlarge our interpersonal circle. Be respectful to our superiors will benefit our career. Be gentle to our beloved ones will promote harmony. Be considerate to our family will make life more pleasant. Many people ignore their relationship with their family which is the most precious relationship in the world.
Do you always shout at your mother,"I'm hungry! I want to eat now!"?
Do you always shout at your father,"I'm out of pocket money!"?
Do you always shout at your children,"You better be good! Don't let me lose face!"?
Wrong! Change your tone and your way of expressing yourself. You will receive a different response and you will enjoy a better life.
