20 WAYS TO SHOW COURTESY

Some of us really need to know some of this things.

1. Don't you ever put a video call accross or a social media call to someone especially a stranger at anytime or at an ungodly hour without seeking their permission.You don't know where they are at the time you're calling. Don't you!

2.In case you miss a call, drop a message as soon as possible if you're unable to call back and Reply messages that are sent to you. Everyone counts.

3. Pay back borrowed money as soon as possible no matter how little the amount is. Don't assume they don't need it, and never make them ask you for it. There will always be a next time.

4. Turn the volume down when you're watching video, playing music or playing a game on your phone in a public place or, better use headphones.

5. Don't press your phone or use headphones when someone is having a conversation with you. Especially your elders. It's a sign of disregard and disrespect. Unplug the headsets from your ears even if nothing is playing and give them your undivided attention.

6. When using someone else's phone or computer, don't go through their stuff without permission. You're Invading another's privacy.

7. When you're asking a person out and they say No, don't insult them. Everyone has a right to choice and free will decisions.

8. Don't use loudspeaker of the phone to have a two person conversation to the hearing of others unless you are unable to hold the phone. That's betrayal.

9. For every offer of kindness and loyalty. remember to say thank you or reward it. Kindness and loyalty is super rare.

10. If you stay the night at someone's house, make the bed or fold the blankets when you leave.

11. Don't let your arguments escalate in public. Find some place else to continue arguing where others won't feel uncomfortable or interested. That noise is always disturbing.

12. If you ask your friends for help with some house work, feed them as payment.

13. When someone keeps buying you food, coffee or drinks, please try to return the favour even If once.... (if you can).

14. When you borrow someone's car, fill up the tank as a way of saying 'thank you.' Don't return it empty.

15. Don’t pick up a call while you are engaged in conversation without excusing yourself.

16. Make sure you don't forget to return that book or whatever thing you borrowed.

17. When someone gives you a gift, no matter how small it is or the way it was presented, even if it isn't up to your expectation, just say 'Thank You.' People hardly give.

18. When you have someone older than you who is friendly and makes himself free with you, speak to them with respect. Don't misuse the privilege to insult them. You may never have it back.

19. Don't feel too big to be corrected or reject good advice because you feel it's your life or you know It all...
Life is a ring; the next blow can come anytime.

20. When you receive messages on social media, try and reply. Don't feel too proud, maybe because you are so intelligent or a celebrity. It's only when It gets unhealthy that you can ignore. You don't know whose talking to you and how much they can do for you.
Remember, no one knows tomorrow."

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you."

But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
