Manners are not optional but Essential

"Manners are not optional but ESSENTIAL." (5 timeless traits of a gentleman.) 1. When A GENTLEMAN is in a crowded area or public place (restaurant, waiting room, subway train etc.) he will give up his seat for someone in need of one. 2. A GENTLEMAN holds the door for others. For both exiting and entering a place. 3. A GENTLEMAN is on time. Being punctual isn't optional but essential. 4. A GENTLEMAN doesn't talk over someone when they're speaking or in a heated discussion. He keeps his composure. He listens, he waits & then responds when it's time to speak. 5. A GENTLEMAN'S never too good to say, 'please' when asking for something; 'thank you' when someone does something for him; 'excuse me' when trying to get around/pass by someone or wanting to get someone's attention.
