I remember hearing years ago about a centenarian being interviewed on her birthday. She was asked, "Throughout your life, you have witnessed amazing change and innovation. The past one-hundred years have brought the inventions of the car, television, air conditioning, and microwave ovens. What is the most extraordinary change you have seen in your lifetime?" Without missing a beat, she replied, "That a teenager can say "suck" in front of their parents and get away with it!" While cultural norms may have changed with the times, being considerate of fellow human beings is not an antiquated notion; its time hasn't ended. Quite the opposite is true. In our world today, kindness and politeness are needed more than ever.
