COMPORTMENT

Comportment is key to our image and its important to be aware of how we come across.It is often true that you are addressed by the way you comport yourself.Comport means to conduct,to behave oneself in a self respecting way. Comportment is not arrogance, but yet those lacking it, may see you as arrogant.If your mannerism depicts,aggression,brashness,loudness,foulness,impatience,immaturity, then you are lacking comportment.Do not be fooled into believing it is old fashioned and not expected of you, it will always be required of us. It can affect your goals and endeavours in life, if you lack etiquette.Learn the etiquette of your profession,be cordial in your ways.For example,if you are going through a door and another person is about to come through the same door, it speaks well of you,if you showed courtesy ist and offered they go before you.And holding the door for the person behind you. How do you come across when you speak to people,do you shout at them, shout them down and raise your voice,disregard their opinion and impose your opinion by having the last word.Do you get into arguments and wouldn't let go of trivial issues. Do you clean after yourself after using a communal area,do you consider others with the volume of your music,your driving.Comportment makes up for a lot for inadequacies in a human being, believe me. A well behaved person is easier to be around than a whizz kid with no decorum.Please think about it and apply it always,in your daily living.Learn it if its not innate to you, for every other person there is room for improvment,find a way to improve on it.
