【录音原文】
Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do and I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often l see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first or never saying “thank you” when others hold door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness, we think that something like simple “thank you” doesn’t really matter but it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can’t be truly elegant unless we have good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven’t you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It’s funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “thank you”, like wearing a little make-up or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying “thank you” can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to your image while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly.
