‘People don’t open the door for  me;  why should I do it for  them?’ ‘Aren’t there more important things to worry about than saying “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me”?’ ‘I don’t  need  to show manners to my siblings. We’re family.’ Do any of those statements sound like something  you would say? If so, you could be missing out on the benefits of showing good manners! What you should know about manners

THERE is a saying, Life is not a matter of holding good cards but of playing a poor hand well. Today, no one has been dealt a perfect set of circumstances. Often the secret to gaining control is learning both to accept those circumstances and to work within the limitations that they impose.

THE Australian thorny devil lizard ( Moloch horridus ) extracts moisture from fog, humidity, and wet sand. Then it channels the water to its mouth for drinking. How? The answer may lie in the lizard’s amazing skin. Grooves on the surface of the skin are connected to a network of channels below the skin so that water is directed to the sides of the thorny devil’s mouth The thorny devil’s skin is overlaid with scales. Some scientists think that moisture or dew collected on the scales runs down to the rough surface of the skin and enters the skin’s network of half-open channels, or grooves, located between the scales. These channels are interconnected and lead to the sides of the thorny devil’s mouth.

THE CHALLENGE On the day you got married, you made a vow. That solemn promise was a lifelong commitment —a firm resolve to stick with your spouse and solve problems that would arise. Over the years, however, the wear and tear of marital conflict has taken its toll. Do you still feel as strongly committed to your mate?

Some would compare commitment to a ball and chain that shackles you to a bad decision. Instead, think of it as an anchor that can keep your marriage steady. During a conflict, one of the best things about commitment is knowing that neither you nor your spouse is leaving.
