Good manners are the ways we teach our children to act in proper ways that are socially acceptable and respectable. They include things like kindness, politeness, consideration and so on. Here are our TOP 5 MANNERS TO TEACH OUR KIDS so that our kids are thought of as polite and people like having them around!

1. DON’T ASK FOR OR CONSUME FOOD AT OTHER PEOPLES’ HOMES

We all know that food at other people’s homes is more delicious. Teach your children that even though they may desire food or snacks there, they must wait until it’s offered.

2. EAT WHAT IS SERVED

- 2 -

Children should be taught that they should try what has been prepared to eat whether it’s at their home or at someone else’s home. They don’t have to eat all of it, but they should try it, and not make faces or rude comments if they don’t like the dish. They should never ask for a new meal to be prepared at home or elsewhere unless they have allergies.

3. DON’T INTERRUPT ADULTS WHEN THEY ARE TALKING

We are living in a world that demands instant gratification. Adults want it, kids do, too. However, that doesn’t mean children (or adults) should interrupt conversations because we want something when we want it.

Teach children not to interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency. This includes a telephone conversation.

4. SAY PLEASE

When your child wants or needs something, have them make it a habit of saying “please”.

5. ALWAYS SAY THANK YOU

Children should be taught to always say thank you when they’ve been hosted at an event. Saying thank you when someone has done something nice for them or served them in some way should also be taught.

There are many other manners that are important to teach children, but if you can get your children to master these Top 5 Manners, we think your children will be well on their way towards being considered a child with good manners.

Chicago’s Children’s Hospital is the lucky receiver of a surprise $ 18 million gift from Gladys Holm. She once was a secretary who never earned more than $ 15,000 a year and never married. She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago, and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital. She was called the “Teddy Bear Lady” because she brought toy animals to sick children on her regular visits. But Miss Holm, who died in 1996 at the age of 86, was also a longtime buyer of stocks (股票). Over the years, she saved money that rose up to $ 18 million, which she left to the Children’s Hospital.

Success comes in all shapes and colours. Whatever success you are after, there is one thing all successful people have in common: Their desire for success makes them never give up.

Some of the most successful people in business, entertainment and sport have failed. Many even have failed many times but they have never given up. Successful people are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and carry on trying.

I have collected some examples:

Henry Ford—the pioneer of modern business and the founder of the Ford Motor Company—failed a number of times on his route to success. His first venture (投资) to build a motor car failed a year and a half after it was started because the stockholders(股东) lost confidence in Henry Ford. Ford was able to gather enough money to start again but a year later pressure from the financiers (金融家) forced him out of the company again. Despite the fact that the entire motor industry had lost faith in him he managed to find another investor to start the Ford Motor Company and the rest is history. .

Walt Disney—one of the greatest business leaders who created the global Disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products—didn’t start off successful. Before the great success came a number of failures. Believe it or not, Walt was fired from an early job at the Kansas City Star
