Essential Social Rules for a Better You

Some essential social rules for you.

1. Don't call someone more than twice in a row. If they don't pick up your call, assume they have something important to do.

2. Never order the most expensive food on the menu when someone offers you lunch or dinner.

3. Don't ask awkward questions like, 'Oh, so you're not married yet..?' or 'Don't you have kids' or 'Why haven't you bought a house..?' or why don't you buy a car..? For God's sake, that's none of your business, right?

4. Always open the door for the person coming from behind you. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, senior or junior. Treating someone well in public doesn't make you small.

5. Dp If you're taking a taxi with a friend and he or she pays now, try to pay next time.

6. Respect different opinions. Remember that a 6 to you may seem like a 9 to someone you're dealing with. Plus, a second opinion is good for an alternative.

7. Never interrupt people while they're talking. Let them have their say. As they say, hear it all and filter it all.

8. If you make fun of someone and they don't seem to enjoy it, stop it, and never do it again.

9. Say "thank you" when someone helps you.

10. Praise them publicly. Criticize them privately.

11. Never a reason to comment on someone's weight. Say ''You look great.'' If they want to talk about losing weight, they will.

12. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don't swipe left or right. Act like you never know what's going to happen next.

13. If a colleague tells you they have a medical appointment, don't ask what it's for, just say, ''I hope you're doing well.''

Don't make them feel uncomfortable telling you about their personal illness. If they want to know, they'll do it without you even asking.

14. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. No one will be impressed by how rude you can be to someone below you, but people will notice if you treat them with respect.

15. If a person is talking to you directly, it's rude to look at your phone.

16. Never give anyone advice until you've been asked.

17. When meeting someone after a long time, don't ask them their age or salary unless they want to talk about it.

18. Mind your own business if you don't have anything directly related to it - walk away.

19. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone on the street. It is a sign of respect.

Don't forget that eye contact is as important as your speech.

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

21. Try to say "Thank you for the message" after reading a good message.

The easiest way to get what you don't have is to appreciate it.
