    What is your understanding of good behaviour?

    Behaviour is an important aspect of our lives. It is said that people having good behaviour towards fellowmen are popular in society. They are looked upon with respect and awe. People generally want to have friendship with such persons.
    What is good behaviour? In Psychology subject it is grossly defined as a physical and verbal communication creating cordial relation and comfortable atmosphere between people. Good behaviour is an asset. People having it are not only popular in the society but reap many benefits of this trait.
    What is your understanding of good behaviour? How can one acquire it?

    Good behaviour as far as I know is to maintain cordiality while talking with others and should try our best to display our best behaviour always. It can be achieved with a practice and presence of mind. Sometimes the other party might be in an irritating mood and such a situation is the crucial situation when we can loose our control.
    The same situation can be tackled with an appropriate answer if we don't loose our patience. A convincing answer can calm down the other party in most of the cases.
    Even if he is not convinced immediately, our logical answer will certainly create an impact on his mind and he might apologise for bad manner after a couple of hour. This is possible if display our consistent behaviour of excellent mannerisms.

    The minimum is it should not offend or irritate others. The better will be it attracts others to you and even new people to feel comfortable and continue interacting with you. It should not make the other person get convinced in your point of view, and make him get a win-win feel. Good behaviour is one which makes others long and yearn for keeping contact and friendship with you.

    Good behaviour is behaving properly with others. Talking softly, accommodating others, showing respect to fellow human beings and conducting as per the laws of the land can be considered as good behaviour. Not treating others the way we feel bad if others treat us in that way, can be a part of good behaviour. Talking politely with others, not using bad or foul words at others, helping others when there is a need and being kind to others are some of the qualities which can be a part of good behaviour.
    I remember a story. We all know Sir Issac Newton. One day in the night he was writing some notes of the work he did and went out. Meanwhile, his pet dog came and jumped over the candle and it fell on the book there and the book got burnt. After coming back he saw this and the pet dog came to him wagging the tile. He looked normal at his pet and lifted him with love. This may be an example of good behaviour.

    In simple words, good behaviour means to behave with others in a pleasant and good mannered way. Giving respect and importance to others is a basic mandatory element of good behaviour.
    It is also true that due to varied personality developments, everyone will not possess a good behaviour. But those who have it, are lucky to have such a pleasant trait in their personality.
    Everyone likes a well behaved and well mannered person. A person can become popular and lead others only when he has a good behaviour. Everyone should cultivate good behaviour as it helps in making good relations with others and in many cases is linked to one's progress and prosperity.

    Knowledge is power.

    Members, thanks for your varied responses to this post. I feel that good behaviour and manners can be cultivated in a person while ones bringing up period and it is obvious that parents have to take a lead in this. During the growing up period, a child picks mannerism from the people around him. He adopts what he sees others doing. So, parents should be very cautious as the child would be catching and practicing anything that he finds the parents doing.
    Some experts feel that genetics also plays a role in this but I am not very clear about that theory. Most of the people become what they are today due to their culture, religion, upbringing, education, and society where they live. The net affect of all those things shape their nature, behaviour, and communication patterns.

    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    Good behaviour has its own value always. No person should change his good behaviour on any occasion. I read in a magazine that a philosopher was sitting on a tank fence and chatting with his friend at a park. A scorpion from the tree suddenly fall on the hand of the philosopher and stuck. Without knowing that it was scorpion etc., he just shiver his hand but the scorpion fallen into the tank water. By seeing that the philosopher took the scorpion again from the water and dropped on the floor. Again the scorpion stuck his hand and run away. By noticing everything the friend asked the philosopher, 'You know well that it would stuck then why you took it from water and saved?'. Philosopher replied, "Though the scorpion know that I am saving it it did not changed his habit then why should I change my helping habit?'. Similarly though we face difficulties we should never give up or change our good hehaviour.
