BETTER THESE WAYS!


Be not quiet when you ought to be talking.
  • Do not distract people from others
    by jumping into conversations.
  • Don't be too hasty in jumping
    into a conversation to give advice.
  • If you must interrupt a conversation
    between two or more people, say "excuse me".
  • Don't be excessive in giving out commands.
  • Don't be too stubborn in insisting people accept
    your opinion and do not present them in such a way.
  • Don't treat people's opinion
    as though they do not matter.
  • Don't laugh at the errors of people.
  • Do not gaze on the marks or blemishes
    or impairments (disabilities) of others
    and do not ask about how they came.
  • What you may speak in secret to your friend
    may not be appropriate to say before others.
    So be careful.
  • Think before you speak. Do not be hasty
    to pronounce your words,
    pronounce orderly & distinctly.
  • When another speaks be attentive yourself
    and do not disturb the audience.
  • When people hesitate with their words
    do not help them finish their sentences.
  • Do not prompt against their desire.
  • Do not interrupt people till they end their speech.
