Common Courtesies for Graduates

Always say "thank you," excuse me," and "please" when you have done a favor and when you are apologizing.

Always RSVP promptly to every invitation you receive.

Return anything borrowed on time and in good condition.

Be on time for appointments; leave on time, too, for nothing is more boring than someone who overstays his welcome.

When you dial a wrong number, say, "I’m sorry, excuse me" - instead of slamming down the receiver in the other person’s ear.

Never cheat on your place in line.

Learn how to pay compliments. Start with the members of your family, and you will find it will become easier later in life to compliment others. It’s a great asset!!!

Don’t put your feet up the furniture. Feet do not enhance the look of the desk or the table.
