Take the initiative with deliberate steps to be a polite person:1.	Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.2.	Reciprocate a thoughtful word or a good deed in kind.3.	Say "excuse me" when you bump into someone, unintentionally violate someone’s space, or need to get someone’s attention.4.	Apologize when you’ve made a mistake or are in the wrong.5.	Live by the "Golden Rule" and treat others the way you would like to be treated.6.	When dining at home or in a restaurant, wait until everyone is served before eating your meal.7.	Acknowledge notable events like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries.
