It Doesn't Cost To Be Polite....But You Pay For Being Impolite

The cost of being polite = $0. The cost of being rude = $$$$$ 

Politeness... it doesn't cost a cent but, I often come across rude people, nor does it cost you more energy. But still, people are rude. 

I'm not sure if it's a matter of learning how to be polite when you are young or over time people develop the tendency to be rude, like it is some wall people put up between themselves and others. But it is the most perplexing trait or action that exists. 

I've run a number of businesses for a long time and one thing I still can't put my finger on is rudeness in business. 

In the corporate world people believe their time is the only important thing day to day. That they are too busy, cannot multi-task, cannot delegate or have fear of making decisions. These are just some of the things that lead to rudeness. 

They cannot handle stress, which leads to frustration and eventually it results in rude behaviour. 

I'm really not sure why this is and I still fail to understand. 

I've seen rudeness cost businesses great deals, good relationships and put into jeopardy contracts. All which were avoidable by simply being polite. 

Politeness doesn't cost you anything, in fact it is easier to be polite than it is rude. You can be firm and still polite, you can be upfront and still polite. 

I don't think I really can understand this, even if I could comprehend it...I just don't feel...

There is any excuse to being rude.

If some men can't control self negative, for him very difficult be politeness. We people we don't robots, and some time we can be rude for own kids.

If nothing else, it's good to remember, what goes around comes around.
