Answer 1

Answer:

Respected dignitaries on the dais and the august audience. I am going to speak on an important and useful aspect of our lives ‘courtesy’.

Let us imagine a situation when you board a bus, very tired and you get a place to sit. You are delighted but in the next stop, a lady boards the bus with a baby in her arms. What will you do? Courtesy demands that you get up and offer the seat to the lady. This is a small gesture. You may get a place to sit in the next stop only, but your decision to consider the need of the lady more acute than yours make others feel good and also gives you a sense of satisfaction.

Courtesy literally means an act of livelily and decent behaviours which are indeed the lights of life since a courteous behaviour has the ability to remove darkness. Friends, I strongly believe that it is possible to ignore certain indecent and unpleasant situation by practicing restraint. To keep one’s cool is the only way to avoid unnecessary unpleas -antness. Sometimes, we may have to compromise to maintain peace but it is worth it since disturbance of peace is inviting darkness in life. A bright and sunny day is always welcome and a courteous behaviour has the power to make the atmosphere desirable. It is not a herculean task but one needs to work for it. Theodore Roosevelt truly said, “Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.” May be, it is one selfish need to maintain peace and small gestures of kindness, politeness, good man
