You should make the correct choice.There are a lot of people who think that manners and etiquette are about forcing people to behave in unnatural ways, or that it’s a way of making some people feeling stupid when they commit a faux pas (失礼).But in truth, manners create a framework that allows us to communicate with fewer misunderstandings, and with clear expectations for what will happen. People with good manners simply know how to behave in a way that doesn’t make the people around them uncomfortable. Good manners are NOT about knowing how to use forks, or about telling other people how to behave. It’s just about being at ease in a social situation, and not unwittingly embarrassing oneself.It’s a pain to have to teach children good manners. Remembering those “please”, “thank you”, and “speaking in polite volumes”, etc., are not easy skills to acquire. But if parents equip their children with these, the children will be able to go out in the world and interact without embarrassing the parents. And when they grow up, they won’t be held back.The number of people who are out of looking for jobs because of the lack of social skills is amazing. They are rude in their interviews or on the phone. No employer wants to hire the employees who need to be trained on the things that they should have learned as a five or six years old child. Those people with bad manners are likely to get a “thanks, but no thanks” letter and are never given another chance at working for that company. And they aren’t going to be able to succeed with their own business if their clients find them awkward and off-putting, either. A lack of basic manners is a major shortcoming in professional life.40.
