Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead
It's a new year, another 365 days to make a difference. And as the year changes, so does our theme. We are leaving 2011's money management theme behind and in 2012 we will focus on being more empathetic and thoughtful, specifically as it relates to etiquette.
I think etiquette is less about being "PC" (politically correct) and more about being "ET" (empathetic and thoughtful). Most people won't care if you use the "correct" fork at dinner, but they will care if you are an inconsiderate, obnoxious dinner guest.
Think about how many wars, fights, accidents, misunderstandings, lost friendships, divorces and other such scenarios could have been avoided if people stopped to think about the effect of their actions on another person.
As we go through this year, I'll provide etiquette tips for every day life. But as you go through each day, constantly ask yourself one question: "Am I being ET?"
