In any society, certain norms of behavior have always existed and will continue to exist, which regulate the life of this society, ensure the process of communication between its members. This set of unwritten rules is called etiquette.

Therefore, observance of etiquette largely affects a person’s position in society, his reputation and a successful career in life. A person who ignores the norms of etiquette can become a “black sheep”, an object for discussion.
Most often, the impression of a stranger is created at the first meeting or the first conversation. A calm, polite manner of conversation immediately betrays a cultured person. He will always be able to unobtrusively suggest a fascinating topic for conversation.

If you teach your child the rules of etiquette from childhood, he will learn to behave naturally and at ease. Conversation topics should be meaningful and engaging.
Etiquette does not allow for excessive talkativeness or swagger. The more restrained the interlocutor behaves, the more respect and trust towards him. A well-mannered person does not boast of his successes and talents and does not gossip about others. On the contrary, he will correctly suppress such conversations or transfer the conversation to another channel.
Don’t tell everyone about your problems

- it is ugly to interrupt a speaker, especially an older one. This demonstrates disrespect for the interlocutor and lack of culture. We must carefully listen to all his arguments and only then give our arguments. You can not impose your own opinion on any issue on those present;
- if in the discussion you have to defend your position, then you should do it with the help of objective facts, calmly and restrained. You must respect the point of view of your interlocutor. Your arguments should be expressed in laconic, precise phrases, without being carried away by eloquence.
Don’t tire your listeners
- do not forget that long speeches greatly tire the listeners;
- speech is an indicator of a person’s culture. Therefore, you must strive to enrich your vocabulary. Reading good literature makes speech more colorful and rich. It will be easier for you to find words that are appropriate for the moment;
- speech is an indicator of a person’s erudition, his education;
- the ability to be a good and interesting interlocutor is inextricably linked with the ability to listen. Learning to listen to others is difficult, but necessary. An attentive and patient listener is more attractive than a good speaker;
- each person has problems that he would like to discuss with an intelligent and understanding interlocutor;
- a polite and friendly person will find common topics with any interlocutor. Do not flaunt your emotions, feelings, moods. Society loves people who are balanced, strong-willed and successful.
