If you don’t mind taking advice on the subject–from a woman, here are a few tips!
#1
Relax. Even when you’re wearing a suit (it might take practice).
#2
Hold doors open for people.
#3
Be aware of your surroundings.
#4
Work hard.
#5
Don’t overwork. God gave you a body to use for His glory, not to destroy.
#6
Keep secrets—even if you don’t understand why it needs to be a secret.
#7
Be good to everyone—even people who make themselves your enemies.
#8
Don’t use slang that is jangling to the senses of other people.
#9
Don’t use slang that you wouldn’t care to have to explain to someone who isn’t familiar with it.
#10
For the most part, just don’t use slang at all. That is, use more normal English than you use slang.
#11
Smile.
#12
Say “please.”
#13
Say “thank you.”
#14
Say “Ma’am” and “Sir.”
#15
Say “excuse me” when you need to get by someone.
#16
Don’t intentionally confuse or embarrass people.
#17
Easily admit that you are wrong.
#18
Laugh pleasantly.
#19
Think before you speak.
#20
Pray before you act.
#21
Be dependable.
#22
Clean up. It isn’t ungentlemanly to get dirty (or greasy) but it is ungentlemanly to stay that way longer than necessary.
#23
Pay attention to your appearance . . . in such a way that your appearance requires very little attention from you.
#24
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
#25
Say a great deal less than you think.
