courtesy


try to look for the definition of the word courtesy


–noun
1. excellence of manners or social conduct; polite behavior.
2. a courteous, respectful, or considerate act or expression.
3. indulgence, consent, or acquiescence: a “colonel” by courtesy rather than by right.
4. favor, help, or generosity: The costumes for the play were by courtesy of the local department store.
5. a curtsy.
–adjective
6. done or performed as a matter of courtesy or protocol: a courtesy call on the mayor.
7. offered or provided free by courtesy of the management: While waiting to board the airplane, we were provided with courtesy coffee.


I believe everyone should know how to apply this in their daily life. It teaches us not to be someone who is self-centered and looking down on people.

Respecting and appreciating others especially those who are close to us will definitely make us realize the power of the word 'courtesy'.
