basic courtesy lesson #1

as i was in the lift, leaving home and on my way to work, the lift stopped at 4th storey and when the door opened, i was greeted "good morning" by a pretty mummy. following behind her shyly was her cute little daughter, about 4-5 years old, dressed in purple from head to toe. =)

pretty mummy then ask her little one what should she say and her little one promptly greeted me "good morning" too!! so sweet and so polite.

suddenly i feel that morning is really good. =)

***

it also reminded me.. that sometimes we lament about how the singapore's youngster nowadays are getting so rude and self-centred. but why? who are causing them to be this way? where did they learn their manners from? and what are we doing to make things right again? put up more signs in public to fine them? did we actually slow our pace down and think that we are probably rude and self-centred too and they are just mirrors reflecting ourselves?

we ourselves are the best tool to fix the decay. i may not be a mother yet, but i am someone's elder silbing and aunt.

its time to bury the "dont talk to strangers" and "mind your own business". its time to show common basic courtesy. =)


so a really "good morning" to everyone! =)
