He that is low no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide."
These lines of John Buniyan speak volumes of the importance of being polite and humble.
Really, politeness and humility are the traits which not only win you appreciation and respect but also facilitate your journey of life by averting or reducing problems and challenges on the one hand and securing support and co-operation from the people around you on the other.
When you are polite and humble, you send a positive signal to the people around you and they usually develop a liking for you, which is helpful to you, directly or indirectly, in your efforts to fight the day-to-day challenges. Your politeness and humility makes other people feel at ease when they are in front of you. They communicate with you freely and are able to understand your point of view better. This results in greater amount of support coming from them, which in turn makes things easier for you. Many a time, your politeness and humility prevents a bad condition from getting worse as it enables you to deal with the things more tactfully. It often reduces the anger and aggressiveness of the people meddling with you on some issue. In the office, your subordinates feel comfortable in sharing the issues with you and you are more accessible to them. This helps you in establishing better personal, social and professional relationships, which opens more avenues for you and paves the way for your success.
On the other hand, if you are impolite and and rude, hardly anybody will like you; you can't have good relationship with the people around you and consequently you won't be able to get much support from them. It is also possible that people may create problems for you and you may experience too much difficulty in tackling the issues. Your impoliteness or rudeness, whether in personal or social or professional life, only deprives you of people's acceptance and co-operation and you happen to be a loser in some way or the other. There are a number of cases when the employees have been fired by their bosses just because of impoliteness and rudeness. You can't expect to be selected for a job if you are impolite or rude during the interview. Your impoliteness and rudeness prevents a business deal from being settled. Thus, impoliteness and rudeness pays you nowhere; it only costs you, sometimes too dearly. There may be times when it is really difficult for you to remain cool and calm, but there also, you must remember, "Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of man."
So, try to be polite and humble as far as possible and allow your life to go more smoothly and meaningfully. All the best !👍😊
