Those who are easily cajoled by some who are eloquently provoking, undergo the ordeal of their desires

usually works---- bad manners ---mean actions does not accomplish but hard-feelings and broken hearts......

in practical life this quote is a blessing. But many a time we fail to practice this quote - our weakness. But we have to try

The good manners are a given. The soft words are to be aimed for, though it may be hard sometimes. But keep in mind the steady drip of water on a rock - eventually it wears it away.

I need to work on this one

@Linda - again... I have always been taught and believed: "Whoever raises their voice first, loses the argument!" FWIW...;-)

RJ from Valley of the Sun JULY 29, 2016
@Linda: I appreciate your feelings. Those were my first thoughts, but I remembered: Good manners does not mean "soft, get pushed-around!" Soft words, and politeness works da**-near ever time. The politeness might just be politely saying: "If you don't get this done, I will simply ask your boss, your wife, your competitor to take care of it." IMHO, of course.

Yes...but, sometimes you can't sugar-coat things, these days!!
