The "Magic Words"

"Please

Using "please" expresses both respect and
consideration for those with whom we're
interacting because it changes a command
into a request. It sets the tone for whatever
follows and is one of most important
universal manners.

"Thank You" and "You're Welcome

Most people know to express their thanks
for gifts, favors, awards, and the like. But
we sometimes fail to recognize and show
appreciation for the everyday courtesies
that come our way, such as when
someone holds the door. Expressing thanks
for these little services is a hallmark of
civility.
"Excuse Me

"Excuse me," "Pardon me," and "I beg your
pardon" all express your awareness that
you've inconvenienced someone else.
"I'm Sorry

Sincere apologies can defuse volatile
situations; it's hard for most people
to remain angry with someone who
takes responsibility for his own
actions.
