Awareness

Being aware of your surroundings is good manners. It would be pretty hard to have good manners if you aren't aware of what is going on around you. You could practice good etiquette because etiquette is about rules and you can memorize rules. Manners are about action and reaction to the moment.

Generally people who have excellent etiquette skills are boring and have no passion, unless of course they're passionate about etiquette!

Manners are essential to a great life, because if you don't pay attention, life will pass you by and what would be the fun of that?

So open your eyes and see, listen and hear and do the right thing. This is why people with good manners have a great life. It's simple.
