The world experiences a design of ever changing seasons. We go through unending transition from
hot to cold and from rainy to sunny. This alone should have given us an idea that everything around
us changes and that the only permanent in this life is the word – CHANGE.

So, why not become “seasonal” by trying different directions and endeavors? Do not let the different
aspects of your life become monotonous. Experiment, explore, and implement, and you’ll likely
experience improvements in the areas that you never expected.

Relationship between Personality Development and Human Relations


In the real world, personality development and social relations always go hand-in-hand with one another. The
development of one’s personality can affect one’s social relations.

Myths of Personality
How people mistakenly judge others, here are some statements.

A great part of this module is credited to the indispensable Personality Development Book by Bayani, Charo L., et. al .
1. Personality is nothing but physical appearance. This only refers to the person’s physical appearance and not the
totality of one’s personality.
2. Personality is nothing but intellectual prowess. Personality encompasses a lot about an individual that
intellectual ability is just one part of it.
3. Personality is nothing but pseudo-science. Pseudo-science is also known as para-science. It uses a method to
judge one’s personality, namely:
a. Phrenology – pseudo science that explains that the shape of one’s skull reveals one’s personality.
b. Graphology – pseudo science that explains that the lines crisscrossing one’s hands have an implication to
one’s personality.
c. Astrology – pseudo science that explains that the location and pattern of heavenly bodies have significance
to one’s personality.
d. Physiognomy – pseudo science that explains that the structure and expressions of one’s physique reveals their
personality.
e. Numerology – pseudo science that explains that the numbers pertaining to one’s birthdate have an implication
to one’s personality.

Psychodynamics of Personality
Represent the individual’s inner motivations to have a well-balanced personality.
ID – most primitive amongst the three forces of personality is also known as the pleasure principle. It always seeks the
satisfaction of one’s desires and urges in life while disregarding the reality needs of the individual.
EGO – is dominated by social norms and environmental standards is also known as the reality principle.
SUPEREGO – is the third psychic force and known to be one’s conscience is also known as the moral principle. A
person who is dominated by this principle is more rationalized by what is right and what is wrong, and by those of
parental prohibitions, sanctions and moral concepts.

Objectives of Personality Enhancement


People try to enhance their personality for:
a. Social acceptance, one’s wish to be treated in accordance with who they are at present to gain more
friends and to feel love and belongingness.
b. Self-satisfaction, one’s desire to feel contented and pleased with themselves whenever they are in the
company of other people.
c. Self-confidence, the ability of a person to deal with anybody on different situations without hesitations.

Agents in Developing Personality

a. Family – this basic unit of society is also the basic foundation of personality development.
b. School – this is formalized agent of personality development which seeks obedience from its members for
individuals to achieve their goal of developing humans that possess a socially – approved knowledge, skills,
values, attitudes and general orientations of the society.
c. Church – this is a different formalized agent of personality formation where the rules stipulated are not
made by humans but by Divine Providence within which people are expected to abide.
d. Peer Group – this is a type of agent in the formation of personality where no specific rules are laid for the
so – called enjoyment of its members.
e. Mass Media – an influential agent in the formation of one’s personality through the use of some devices.
Hence, whatever is widely accepted by known personalities in the media, the person influenced by this
agent will imitate.
Self-confidence refers to the trust a person has in his abilities and judgment, which enables him to
express his knowledge and opinion freely with no or little difficulties.

Self-confidence is not a permanent state of mind – a person’s level of confidence may increase or
decrease within a given period. Whiles some people are confident all the time, others tend to
experience fluctuating situations and another group of persons have almost no confidence at all.
A great part of this module is credited to the indispensable Personality Development Book by Bayani, Charo L., et. al .
Self-confidence is dependent on various factors including a person’s temperament, society and
culture, educational level, wealth, trends of successes and failures etc.

A highly confident person may begin to wilt in confidence after suffering consecutive failures but
whatever the case may be, self-confidence is always a mind game; it is dependent on the mentality or
mindset of the person. Anyone can become confident if he tries to.
Importance of self-confidence as a skill

Obviously, self-confidence comes along with tremendous advantages. Especially in your career path, it is one of the
skills that is needed every step of the way. There are certain persons and job positions that require people with absolute
self-confidence. Some of these are lawyers and judges, journalists, managers, public relations officers, actors, pastors,
teachers, marketing managers and sales personnel etc.

Self-confidence is a skill that is needed by everyone. Below are some random benefits of self-confidence:

 Self-confident people are able to express themselves freely and create a lasting impression on the minds of
employers during job applications and interviews.
 Because of the relationship between self-confidence and competency, people easily trust self-confident people.
Due to this, substantial projects and valuable contracts are often awarded to highly confident employees.
 Self-confidence is the driving factor that spurs entrepreneurs and pioneers on to commence new projects.
 With a high level of self-confidence, you are able to take independent but great decisions in your organization
or your field of work. You don’t worry your superiors with constant requests for directions and instructions.

How to improve self-confidence

As we talked about earlier, self-confidence is dependent on a number of factors. You may be confident today but what
if something very embarrassing happens to you tomorrow? Will you still be as confident?

No matter what the circumstance may be, there a few tips that can help you maintain a good level of self-confidence.

 Prepare and equip yourself. Being sure of your capabilities and having a track record of successes is a natural way to
raise your level of confidence. Your confidence is boosted when you are sure you will be successful in something because
you’ve done it before. Train yourself till you have acquired all the needed skills in your specific field of work and take
practice tests if possible. Successes in practice tests automatically raise your level of confidence.

 Have a positive self-perception. People, for various reasons, suffer inferiority complex. They have the perception that
others are better than them. Many a time, this is due to the temperament of the person, especially phlegmatic people. Make
a habit of thinking positively about yourself. Focus on your strengths and see your weaknesses as an opportunity to learn
more. If someone is better than you in one aspect, take a look at their shortcomings and compare them to your strengths.
Gradually, this exercise helps you develop and I am better than him mentality which affects you positively.

 Assertiveness. People are used to criticizing people and shunning their opinions. The more you allow your opinions to be
ignored without taking a strong stance or defense, you begin to lose confidence in yourself. Stand by words and opinions,
and try to explain every little reason for your actions or opinions. When people get convinced and accept your ideas
regularly, your confidence level will be on the increase.

What makes an individual differ from each other?


What prompts them to act the way they do?

When people encounter individuals with aggressive behavior, they conclude that they behave that
way because they inherited that attitude from their parents. Hereditary, which is known as the
transmission of the genetic characteristics of parents to offspring.
In reality, heredity is only one aspect of behavior formation because what makes the people behave
or act in a certain way is also influenced by their environment.

It is true that heredity has a lot to do with the person’s upbringing but it is his environment
that develops what he has at present. The relationship of these two factors have an immense
influence on a person’s personality that make him unique.

Personality has six aspects that includes the following;

Physical Aspect focuses on all the external attributes of an individual. The environment
enhances an individual’s knowledge to improve on one’s physical attributes.

Intellectual Aspect focuses on one’s mental capacity or Intelligence Quotient (IQ).


Formal schooling further cultivates this aspect. The better education one has, the better
personality one develops.

Character Aspect is about one’s knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. It can
be developed further as soon as the individual acquires the ability to grasp concepts or
standards of good manners and right conduct.

Temperamental Aspect or the emotional aspect, explains one’s sentiments or feelings


towards something or someone on a given situation or instance.

Social Aspect is seen primarily on the extent of a certain individual to deal with other
people around them by observing the protocol of human relations, or the so – called
social etiquette. That is greatly affected by his enhanced physiological state, intellectual
keenness, emotional maturity, and faith. When properly developed, this aspect could
result to a more socially flexible person who is prepared to meet the various situations
in life.

Spiritual Aspect is about the belief of people in worshipping a Divine Being. This
aspect is further developed in the environment through religious affiliations and
practice.

how to crawl. Human beings have
been so complex that knowing them
requires one to see how human
beings are developed.
People have this opinion that
the development of an individual

skip a certain stage of development.

What is Emotion? In Latin, it is “emoverse” meaning “to stir up” or “to move.” While, according to Sferra,
Wright, and Rice (1971), it is “a strong feeling of some kind that impels a person to do something.” It is one
factor that motivates a person to move and it can be either desirable or undesirable and is said to either make
or break a person. How? Emotion is said to be so strong that people can do anything just to satisfy their
emotional needs.

MAJOR KINDS OF EMOTION
During the early study, emotions are classified into two-delight and distress. From these basic
emotions, present emotions evolved like fear, anxiety, worry, anger, and love.
1. Fear. This is a kind of emotion that arises when there is suddenness and unfamiliarity of situation where the
person involved has difficulty in making decision or action.
2. Anxiety. This is a kind of emotion where the person anticipates something that has not existed yet.
3. Worry. This is a kind of emotion that grows out of fear. It is a repetitive action that produces no adjustment
whatsoever, since it involves no plan of activity.
4. Anger. This is a kind of emotion that arises when the needs of a certain individual is thwarted.
5. Love. This is a kind of emotion that arises when a certain individual exudes affection or passion for something
or someone.

EFFECTS OF EMOTION
Emotions has great influence on one’s psychological and physiological comfort. Since, it has been stated that
emotion can make or break a person, let us now enumerate
what the effects of emotion are:
1. Psychological Effect. Emotion is one of the
responsibilities of the brain. If there are strong
emotions that are not fully satisfied, something might
happen to one’s psychological processes, such as:
a. Positive Effects. Fear often helps us to protect
ourselves from danger. Worry often helps us to get to
other people. Anger and annoyance can sometimes
lead a person to improve on human relation skills and
study more. Love builds tolerance, self-sacrifice,
friendliness, and many other pleasant experiences enjoyed in social and business relationships.
b. Negative Effects. Fear often threatens a person to injure oneself. Anxiety gives difficulty in coping to a
certain situation. Worry often leads to difficulty in understanding facts, which usually produce emotional
tension. Anger produces aggressive actions and behavior. Love directs a person to vanity, self-
aggrandizement, selfishness, hate, and jealousy.

2. Physiological Effect. If emotions have effect on one’s psychological processes, it also has effects on
one’s biological functioning, such as:
a. Galvanic Skin Responses (GSR). This is defined as the electrical resistance or conductance to the flow of
a very weak electrical current from one point of the skin to another, which decreases with increase in arousal.
If a person has heightened emotions, sweat glands will produce more sweat.
b. Blood change in pressure, volume, and composition. People’s blood pressure will eventually increase if
they experience intense emotion.
c. Respiration or breathing cycle. One’s breathing will either increase or decrease depending on the emotion
he/she is currently experience.
d. Pupillary responses. Pupil of the eye constricts or dilates depending on the current emotion of the person.
e. Salivary gland secretion is impeded. If an individual has an intense emotion, dryness of the mouth will be
inevitable.
f. Muscles tension and tremor. This is the uncontrollable shaking or tightening of some parts of the body
when a person experience powerful emotion.
g. Pilomotor responses or Goose bumps. This happens when hairends tighten because of powerful emotions.
h. Gastrointestinal motility. This happens when there is presence of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
i. Metabolic rate increase. This happens when a person gives out more sweat and feels thirst and hunger
every now and then.

j. Glandular activity increase. This is an increase activity in the glands of an individual.

PREVENTING EMOTIONAL OUTBRUST


It has been stated in the previous chapters that no two individuals are alike. Here, it is once again
stipulated. How? Some people are vulnerable to emotional outburst more frequently and more intensely than
other are. How does it happen? People have different capabilities to absorb experiences that bring emotional
upheaval. People who are prone to emotional outburst are weak while others are strong that emotions never
bother to get into their system.
The capacity to understand and control one’s emotions is of vital importance to human relations
because if a person does not have the capability to control emotions, it can seriously affect one’s conduct.

So, how will you prevent emotional outburst? Try this:


1. Accept responsibility and achieve work without prejudice.
2. Respect and love others as you respect and love yourself.
3. Be sensitive to the needs and rights of other people.
4. Be flexible and use time, money, and effort in a constructive way.
5. Have sense of humor and do not take everything seriously.
6. Follow directions and accept criticisms without being offended.
7. Admit that you are currently having an intense emotion.
8. Do not let others know that you are experiencing a powerful emotion.
9. Incorporate your emotions with your intellect and determination for you to learn and grow as
a person.

We rarely experience one singular emotion, but often a cocktail of


different emotions at the same time. Embracing the emotional
complexity of life is key to becoming more emotionally intelligent.

What is Social Relation?
Social comes from the Latin word “socius” which means ally. An ally that is commonly known by
humans as society or associate undergoes a series of interaction to result in some form of bonding. But that
was before it was recognized and accepted by people as group of individuals having an interaction with one
another. To make the above mentioned definition clearer, social is composed of people undergoing an
interaction in relation to their environment. It is understood that social will only take place when there is a
continuous interaction between groups of individuals in a particular environment.

Relation comes from the Latin word “relatus” which means to bring into connection or relation.
Relation is to unite, join, or be in close contact with. The question here is who or what we are going to unite,
join, or be in close relation with? Since the very beginning, individuals have already been discussed as the
major topic; therefore, it is understood that the one we are going connect are the persons hanging around in
the same environment. To be clearer, relation is the connection or interaction of group of individuals in a
particular environment.

If you put the two words together, you will get the art of getting along well with other people whenever
they interest with each other on a given situation in a particular environment.

Building Harmonious Relationship with Others

Nowadays, problems are everywhere. Thus, individual’s capacity to decide correctly is often clouded by
his/her emotion that affects one’s capability to interact with others in a harmonious basis. It is not easy to have
a desirable human relation. In fact, a person who has this capability is a person that should be admired.
However, hard as it may seem, there are some suggestions on how one can change for the good.

These are:
1. Speak your mind freely. There are times that lead us to think and not say things for fear of rejection. But don’t
you know that people will love you more if you say what want to say? So, Say IT!
2. Don’t fight over something that was already shared. Once you have given something to the public, it becomes
a public property. Don’t argue stating that the said idea originated from you.
3. Listen empathically to others. Try to understand what others really mean for looking closely into their point
of view. Remember, people are set for their own opinion.
4. Don’t dominate the discussion. People like it if they also talk. It is fine to speak once in a while but make it a
point to state your mind within the first minute. Do not make it as if it is your speech.
5. Don’t let the discussion get away from you. There are instances that people get oblivious to the things under
discussion, so ask for them to elaborate on the issue at hand.
6. Join in a friendly disagreement. It is fine to state your mind immediately but be sure that you do this on a
gracious manner.
7. Strike while the iron is hot. There are times that questions pop into our mind. If that happens, say it
immediately or you lose it when you make up your mind to talk it over.
8. Try to act what you are saying. People love people who do what they promise and what they are expected of
them.
9. Be sensitive to the needs of others. Sometimes people are so stuck with their needs that they often overlook
the needs of the people around them.
10. Most especially, try to develop the rarest and hardest art of interaction-the art of LISTENING

Social Vs. Real Self

Everyone personality. Therefore, everyone wears a mask. According to the Greeks, personality comes
from the word “persona” meaning mask. A mask is anything that that you can wear for disguise. In this topic,

A great part of this module is credited to the indispensable Personality Development Book by Bayani, Charo L., et. al .
mask refers to ones “social self.” It is the self that others see and is projected by people to hide their “real
self”. Admit it or not but we all wear “masks” to hide our “true” personality when we deal with other people.
Why? Simply because people are afraid of rejection and to maintain the harmonious relationship that they
have already established, they project an image that isn’t completely them. However, the “social” and “real
self” should not really be two different selves.

Our self is like a diamond with many facets. And similar to diamond, our self changes with different
environments or situations. But even if we turn one facet of self to adjust to a situation, we should never lose
sight of the fact that these facets are only one part of the whole personality and are, therefore, a reflection of
the true SELF.

FRIENDSHIP

Coping with the present pace of the society is difficult if you face it alone. Adjusting is hard if you do
not have anybody to share it with-a person who will make everything easier for you. In fact, life becomes
more meaningful if you share every happening and sorrow with someone who shares the same ideals with
you. The person who walks in when other walk out is called a “FRIEND.”

Friend according to Victor M. Parachin (2001) is “the one that multiply our joy and divide our grief.
They are the ones who build us up when we are about to quit on something that we are not capable to achieve.
” A friend keeps human relation smoothly despite differences of opinions. Here are some ways to practice this
fine art of friendship:

1. Reach out. If you want to make friend, all you have to do is reach out. If you want to have friends, be a
friend. How? Few people have the capacity to act first and try to know other people. But if you are really
eager to know somebody, extend your hospitality.
2. Let friendship a priority. Friends are friends as long as you show them that you consider them as one.
Similar to romantic or business deals, you also have to make a schedule to keep in touch with them. You
can only do this when you always make it a point to find time to visit and get some new information about
them.
3. Let friends know that you care. Show friends that you always think of them whenever you can, and in
whatever you do, you whatever you do, you always make it a point that they are included in it. To further
this, Paramahansa Yogananda (2001) says, ”There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends.
That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of other first… when you learn to live for others, they will live for
you. ”
4. Limit criticisms. Criticism can make or break a person. However good your intentions may be in offering
one, it’s hard to have and maintain friends if you are overly critical. In fact, according to Ben Franklin
(2001), “Criticizing and censuring almost everyone you have to do with will diminish friends, increase
enemies, and thereby hurt you affairs.”
5. Evaluate before adding. It is hard to give time to others when you are overly loaded with things and
responsibilities. So if you want to add new friends, be sure you have more time, energy and spirit to extend
to them if you really want to become a part of your life.
6. Never gossip about a friend. The primary factor that could stop the existence of friendship is gossip. If a
certain individual is being talked about by someone he/she consider as friends, they feel betrayal. If betrayal
arises, whatever damage it cause will be hard to restore.
7. Practice loyalty. People love individuals who do not hurt other people, most especially, their friends.
Friendship represents the ties that bond a person from doing something that could harm the friendship that
they have established from the start.
8. Be real friend. “Whatever you do unto others, you do unto me,” God said. If you really love yourself, be a
person who shares that love to other people for whatever you do to them, they will do unto you.

STANDARD FOR SOCIAL RELATIONS

You may find this book in personality development preachy but I must say I will continue sharing information
with you for the best book on earth, which is the Bible or Koran, is seldom read or touched nowadays.

We love to read pocketbooks, novels, love letters, text messages, electronic mails, friendster messages and
testimonials, and so on and so forth but the messages written in the Bible are rarely read. But don’t you know
that the best messages and information are written in this book? We love listening to people around us giving
advices, suggestions, and comments. But don’t you know that the wisdom that comes out of their mouth came
from the Bible? Yes! The Bible. A book that makes wonderful promises, gives hopes for tomorrow – hope
that is full of love, peace, and happiness.

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENTS.


People are afraid of getting into prison or being given a sanction that’s why they always follow rules. But
frankly speaking, the rules of man are just juiced out from the rule of God – The Two Greatest
Commandments. The numerous rules of man were in fact modifications of the two Golden Rules of God.
Maybe people think that the rule of man is easier than the rule of God. Let’s check how hard they are and tell
me your opinion:

1. THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY
SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND.
a. THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.
b. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF
ANYTHING THAT IS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR
THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH.
c. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN; FOR THE LORD
WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS THAT TAKETH HIS NAME IN VAIN.
d. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.

2. THOU SHALL LOVE THY NEIGHBORS AS THYSELF.
a. HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER.
b. THOU SHALL NOT KILL.
c. THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
d. THOU SHALL NOT STEAL.
e. THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
f. THOU SHALL NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE, THOU SHALL NOT COVET THY
NEIGHBOR’S WIFE, NOR HIS MANSERVANT, NOR HIS MAIDSERVANT, NOR HIS OX,
NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANY THING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOR’S.

LOVE AS PART OF SOCIAL RELATIONS.


Love is a powerful emotion that can be defined in several ways because it varies from one culture to another
and from one place to another. It is so strong an emotion that even philosophers try to investigate.
Since we are speaking of love’s definition, do you know what love is?
According to Wikipedia, “Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a
place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects,
including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In
ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person.
Love’s definition is easy to read but hard to fathom. You may say you love a person if you want to see him or
her regularly but that is not the real meaning of love. You may say you love a thing if you don’t want it easily
broken or lost but then again, that is not the real meaning of love. You may say you love a place if you always
wanted to check it out, but it’s not love still. So, what is love?
Love goes deeper than that where even God gave so many definitions of it as stated on 1 Corinthians 13:4-10.
Now, people are so intelligent that they wanted to come up with a simpler perspective about love so they try
to present types of it with corresponding definitions. So, what could those different definitions be? Read on.

TYPES OF LOVE
As much as people want to have just one simple, clear and concise definition of love, there seems to be
different types and for clearer understanding.
Let us discover each type.
1. Courtly Love – this is a type of love that presents late medieval conventionalized code prescribing
certain conduct and emotions for ladies and their lovers.
2. Erotic Love – this is a type of love wherein the desire is characterized by sexual urges.
3. Familial Love – this is a type of love wherein the affection is broken through kinship connections,
intertwined with concepts of attachment and bonding.
4. Free Love – this is a type of love where sexual relations are present according to choice and
unrestricted by marriage.
5. Platonic Love – this is a type of love where there is a close relationship but the absence of sexual
desire.
6. Puppy Love – this is a type of love where the romantic affection that is present is not “mature” or not
“true”.
7. Religious Love – this is a type of love that reflects a devotion to one’s deity or theology.

A great part of this module is credited to the indispensable Personality Development Book by Bayani, Charo L., et. al .
8. Romantic Love – this is a type of love where the affection is characterized by a mix of emotional and
sexual desire.
9. True Love – this is a type of love without condition, motive or attachment.
10. Unrequited Love – this is a type of love wherein the affection and desire is not reciprocated or
returned.

MULTIPLY YOUR HAPPINESS.


Happiness is what a person feels when he/she gives or shares something to someone special, might it be family,
relative, friends or loved ones. Dyke says that “happiness is inward and not outward for happiness can be
greatly felt if you are giving than you are receiving”.

According to Wikipedia, “Happiness is a prolonged or lasting emotional or affective state that feels good or
pleasing. Overlapping states or experiences associated with happiness include well-being, joy, sexual pleasure,
delight, health, safety and love, while contrasting ones include suffering, sadness, grief, and pain. Associated
behaviors include smiling and laughter.”

People like it better if a certain individual is happy than a person who always pouts and sad. For them, people
who are always happy have positive vibes, which is contrary to persons who are always sad who have negative
vibes.

So, if you want to have positive vibes and draw people towards you, try these:
1. Appreciate people
2. Allocate time with people
3. Impart knowledge and ideas
4. Share friendship
5. Share kindness
6. Share experience
7. Share enthusiasm

“Good manners are always important in all contacts in life, but
they must spring from real kindliness of spirit, or they will not
ring true”. – Eleonor Roosevelt

MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE


Etiquette is a conventional rule of behavior. Manners, on the other hand, is based on kindness to and
consideration for others, which results from the heart of courteous behavior.
In the Family
1. Parents.
Never try to violate the privacy of your children by opening their mails, fixing and cleaning their
drawers, and put their desks in order. However messy the room looks to your eyes, you still have no
right to change it.

2. Children.
Never try to violate the privacy of your parents by rummaging through their personal belongings in
search of stockings, jewelry, neckties, cuff links, or other articles that you wish to “borrow”.
Remember: “No secrets will be kept forever”, so instead of getting yourself punished for “borrowing”,
ask permission from them first.

3. Family.
If you think that this part is exclusive to one member of the family, think again for this is dedicated to
all:
a. Each member of the family should have the opportunity to entertain their friends with a minimum
intervention from the rest of the family unless the occasion is a family affair.
b. Each member of the family has the privilege for a quiet talk with their friends and visitors, so
refrain yourself from shouting and interrupting their conversation.
c. Never use personal things that belong to other members of the family for your hygienic purposes.
d. Knock and wait for an answer before entering when the door is closed to show respect.
e. Always give information about your “whereabout” to avoid future problems.
f. Reply courteously and never fail to use the terms “excuse me”, “sorry”, and “please”.
In Public Places
1. Refrain from shouting or talking aloud.
2. Never expose your emotions and always exude an air of confidence and serenity.
3. Gentleman should always stay on the danger side of the road.
4. Never eat or bring food outside the dining area.
5. Always be courteous, hospitable, and polite in all your dealings.
6. Never fail to use the terms “excuse me”, “sorry”, and “please”.

In Dating
1. Both Parties.

A great part of this module is credited to the indispensable Personality Development Book by Bayani, Charo L., et. al .
If you set a date, be sure to observe punctuality, proper grooming and dressing, courtesy, and respect
date’s opinions. While eating, don’t talk if your mouth is full but keep conversation going just be sure
that the conversation is safe for both sides. While conversing, be sure that it is not loud as if you are
talking to the people around you and never try to play with your spoon, fork, and knife. Then again,
never fail to use the terms “excuse me”, “sorry”, and “please”.

2. Ladies.
Never try to commit yourself to a specific date if you can’t make it. Be on time, ready to be pampered,
and considerate of your date’s financial capability. Should there be any changes in the appointment;
you must call the man as soon as possible. But if there is no necessary information to be shared, there
is no need to call him.

3. Gentleman.
If you really wanted to date a girl who continuously refuses you, admit it that she does not really want
to go out with you. But if she accepts your proposition of a date, remember to:
a. Pick the girl at her house door and courteously greet whom she is going to introduce to you.
b. Be sensitive to all the needs of the girl you are going to date and let her feel that she is fully
pampered.
c. Always stay on the danger zone of the road when walking. Let the girl get on to the vehicle first,
and get out of the vehicle after you.

Table Manners
1. Before Meal.
Be courteous enough to appear properly groomed at the table soon after the announcement is made.
Wait for the Hosts to be seated and start the meal before you sit quietly. Place your things (bag, keys,
cellular phone, and other personal items) behind you, in between your back and chair, and start eating.
Be sure to place the napkin on your lap. Large napkins are partly unfolded, while, small napkins are
completely unfolded.

2. During Meal.
Be sensitive and considerate enough to the needs of the people around you by eating quietly. If
conversation starts, make it a point not to talk with your mouth full. The topic to be raised should be
all pleasant. In addition, always start eating your meal from the outside, and if you are in doubt, try
watching your hosts for you to have an idea how to do this.

It is inevitable that there would be lots of table utensils, so once you get hold those, be sure not to play
with them. How? By placing your knife across the top of the plate, cutting edge towards you and, the
fork may be put down with the handle resting on the side of the plate.

Not all foods are served without a soup. So, if you encounter soup – hot soup, avoid blowing it loud.
Wait until the soup cools down before you spoon it from inside out then sip it quietly. Avoid gulping
it.

3. After Meal.
After you finish your meal, place both spoon and fork side – by – side in the middle of your plate in a
slanted position. Pick up the napkin by the center and place it loosely to the left side of your plate.

Remember: Loose napkin means unfolded. Courtesy prescribes that no one leaves the table until
everyone has finished and if you should stand, be sure to stand quietly.

During Introductions
A simple procedure appropriate in almost all occasion is to say first the name of the person whom you wish
to honor and then present the other to the honored person.
1. Men are always presented to women unless the men you are going to present are a President or Church
Officials.
2. Young people are always presented to older people.
3. Introducing people of the same age range depends on the situation and your decision as to which person
you wish to honor.
Note: shaking of hands is inevitable for men and boys. For girls, they may or may not shake hands. But if
someone offers to shake the hand of a girl as a sign of courtesy, she must shake hands with them.

TELEPHONE MANNERS
1. Placing Calls. This is a process where the person concerned is the one making the call. In doing so, be
sure to dial the correct number, then, give your name and other pertinent information if asked.
2. Answer Properly. This is a process where the person involve picks up the receiver on its second ring.
To do so, be sure to speak slowly and clearly on the receiver placed an inch away from your lips.
3. Identify yourself. This is a process where the person who calls or answers the phone gives her
identification.
4. Taking calls for other people. When it is essential to take calls or messages for other people, use your
utmost tact in determining the identity of the caller.
5. Leave the line courteously. When looking for something requested by the caller, be sure to request the
caller’s permission before acting on the request. Then, when you return to the line and find what you
are looking for, be sure to thank the caller for waiting. But, if too much time is required to get the
information needed, explain and offer to call back.
6. Terminating calls. Express appreciation or regret depending on the type of call. Say “Good bye” but
wait for the caller to hang up then replace the receiver gently.
In addition to these etiquettes, be sure not to call people after ten at night unless they are the ones who ask you
to call them. And if you know that they stay up late, avoid calling them before eleven in the morning unless,
again they are the ones who ask you to call. In all cases, never call at mealtime. However, if you are the one
being phoned at, during mealtime, answer it courteously. Never try to monopolize the communication. So
make it a point that conversations are short, clear and concise.
