Courtesy Pays Off BIG TIME
10 Sep 2010 Leave a Comment
I consider myself a courteous person. Aside from it being the right thing to do, it really pays off. Good manners brings good things to me. For example, often businesses don’t charge me for the little extras I want, or I get an extra free hour of parking simply because I am nice to people, or something extra is thrown in free of charge. It pays to be courteous to everyone you meet. You could make someone’s day too!
Walk!

Okay, this is a simple one. I see so many people using bus tickets to get a few blocks down the road, or taking a taxi on a beautiful day when they could easily walk to their location.
Walking is not only good for your health, it helps clear your mind, brightens up your appearance, and it is the right thing to do for the environment.
Consider if you can walk to where you want/need to go. Challenge yourself.
Make HomeMade Gifts

The Christmas season will be upon us before any of us are ready. If you want to save serious cash over the holidays, it’s important to put your thinking cap on NOW about what you will give others. Get a few books from the craft section of the library and invest the time now to make something. You can make candles, body scrub, knit something. Get creative! Personally created gifts are back in demand. Don’t wait until December to get started!
Save on Technology!

I was frantic today when I forgot to check an email message about an appointment I had later that day. I don’t have any fancy technology like a blackberry and I don’t carry my laptop with me most days so I thought there was no way I could check my email account – and didn’t have time to return home. Then I remembered that the library offers free Internet service. I went there, checked my email for the information I needed, and went on my way. Why bother with paying for technology when it is provided free in the community? The library ROCKS!
