SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:

1. Don’t call someone
more than twice
continuously. If they
don’t pick up your call,
presume they have
something important to
attend to;

2. Return money that
you have borrowed
even before the other
person remembers
lending it to you. It
shows your integrity
and character. Same
goes with umbrellas,
pens and lunch boxes;

3. Never order the
expensive dish on the
menu when someone is
giving you a lunch/
dinner. If possible ask
them to order their
choice of food for you;

4. Don’t ask awkward
questions like ‘Oh so
you aren’t married yet?’
Or ‘Don’t you have kids’
or ‘Why didn’t you buy a
house?’ Or why don't
you buy a car? For God’s
sake it isn’t your
problem;

5. Always open the
door for the person
coming behind you. It
doesn’t matter if it is a
guy or a girl, senior or
junior. You don’t grow
small by treating
someone well in public;

6. If you take a taxi
with a friend and he/
she pays now, try
paying next time;

7. Respect different
shades of opinions.
Remember what's 6 to
you will appear 9 to
someone facing you.
Besides, second opinion
is good for an
alternative;

8. Never interrupt
people talking. Allow
them to pour it out. As
they say, hear them all
and filter them all;

9. If you tease
someone, and they
don’t seem to enjoy it,
stop it and never do it
again. It encourages
one to do more and it
shows how
appreciative you're;

10. Say “thank you”
when someone is
helping you.

11. Praise publicly.
Criticize privately;

12. There’s almost
never a reason to
comment on
someone’s weight. Just
say, “You look
fantastic.” If they
want to talk about
losing weight, they will;

13. When someone
shows you a photo on
their phone, don’t
swipe left or right. You
never know what’s
next;

14. If a colleague tells
you they have a
doctors' appointment,
don’t ask what it’s for,
just say "I hope you’re
okay". Don’t put them
in the uncomfortable
position of having to tell
you their personal
illness. If they want
you to know, they'll do
so without your
inquisitiveness;

15. Treat the cleaner
with the same respect
as the CEO. Nobody is
impressed at how rude
you can treat someone
below you but people
will notice if you treat
them with respect;

16. If a person is
speaking directly to
you, staring at your
phone is rude;

17. Never give advice
until you’re asked;

18. When meeting
someone after a long
time, unless they want
to talk about it, don’t
ask them their age and
salary;

19. Mind your business
unless anything
involves you directly -
just stay out of it;

20. Remove your
sunglasses if you are
talking to anyone in the
street. It is a sign of
respect. Moreso, eye
contact is as important
as your speech; and

21. Never talk about
your riches in the midst
of the poor. Similarly,
don't talk about your
children in the midst of
the barren.

22.After reading a good
message, try to say"
Thanks for the
message".

APPRECIATION remains
the easiest way of
getting what you don't
have.

You are welcome!
