Ways To Show Courtesy even in Communication!

1. Don't you ever put a video call across 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. 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 ear or headphones.

4. 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.

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

6. 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.

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

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

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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 who’s talking to you and how much they can do for you.

Remember, no one knows tomorrow."

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...
