Courtesy is the light of life. Good morning respected Principal, teachers and friends. I, Sujay Srivastava, am here to speak on the topic ‘Courtesy is the light of life’. Courtesy is the mark of the cultured. Manners and courtesy go hand in hand and indeed complement each other. Each one of us seeks kindness and respect and just one word of courtesy can make all the difference. It can make anyone feel truly valued! Behaving right and talking right are the key ingredients of being courteous. It is only natural that most people then, tend to have a good impression of a courteous person. Courteous behaviour seldom goes unnoticed. Sooner than later, those around courteous people come to acknowledge and appreciate them as well. Light is the need of life It is just as essential to humans as it is to flora and fauna. However, humans need light to progress in life, the kind which shines bright within! Courtesy surely keeps this inner light glowing. When you give love and respect to everyone around notwithstanding their social status, the same comes back to you in abundance. This is the kind of wealth that makes you much happier and contented with life than any material possession. I would like to conclude by saying that ‘let us all pledge silently to employ a little bit of courtesy in our everyday lives’. Thank you for listening to me patiently. |
