[nidokidos] COURTESY

Click here to get beautiful emails Click here to join forum

Courtesy

Courtesy is nothing more than consideration for others. It opens the doors that would not otherwise open. A courteous person, who is not very sharp, will go further in life than a discourteous but sharp person.

It is little things that make a big difference. Courtesy is made of nothing more than many small gifts. Small courtesies will take a person much further than cleverness. Courtesy is an offshoot of deep moral behaviour. It costs nothing but pays well.

No one is too big or too busy to practice courtesy. Courtesy means giving a seat to the elderly or to the disabled. Courtesy can be a warm smile or a thank-you to the people. It is a small investment but payoffs are big. It enhances the other person's self-worth. Courtesy requires humility.

Courtesy and manners go hand in hand. It is equally important to practice manners at home and not just on outsiders. Showing consideration and good manners brings out a feeling of warmth and acceptance in the home. Courtesy means practicing good manners and making small sacrifices to others.

Besides being self-satisfying, politeness and courtesy have many more advantages than rude behaviour. Rude and discourteous people may get short-term results. Most people avoid dealing with such behaviour and in the long run, rude people are disliked. Courteous behaviour ought to be taught to children at an early age so that they can grow and become mature, considerate adults. Courteous behaviour, once learned, stays for life. It demonstrates a caring attitude and sensitivity to other people's feelings. It seems trivial and unimportant, little phrases such as "please" "thank-you" and "I am sorry" take a person a long way. Remember, being courteous will breed courtesy in return. Practice as much as often as you can. Initially, it may take some attention, but the effort is well worth it.

Politeness is the hallmark of gentleness. Courtesy is another name for politeness. It costs a little but pays a lot, not only to the individual bit also to the entire organisation.

Have you noticed that sometimes, when one person is telling a joke, another person will jump in and give the punch line, drawing attention to himself? And after everyone laughs he will reveal where he read it. This may show superior knowledge but it shows inferior manners.

Many brilliant and talented people have destroyed their own success because they lack courtesy and manners. Politeness and courtesy are signs of being cultured. Rudeness and discourtesy show the lack of it. Treat other people with respect and dignity.

`Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength'.

--Eric Hoffer

[nidokidos] Harbin's Robot Restaurant ....... the first in the world ?????

Robot Restaurant HARBIN

�

A restaurant in downtown Harbin, China, employs 20 robots

instead of humans that cook, serve and entertain its guests.

The restaurant opened in June 2012 and has since become a novelty spot in Heilongjiang provinces capital.

When a diner walks in, an usher robot extends their mechanic arm to the side and says

Earth person hello. Welcome to the Robot Restaurant

Patrons can then place their order, which is relayed by humans to one of the four robot chefs

who are able to cook various styles of dumplings and noodles.

Once the dish is prepared, a robot waiter, which runs along tracks on the floor, carries it from kitchen to table.

Prepared dishes are placed on a suspended conveyor belt and when the plate reaches the right table

the mechanical arms lift it off and set it down.

There`s a singing robot too !!!

�

The robots are between four and five feet tall and can display 10 different facial expressions.

They can work continuously for five hours after a two-hour charge. But the staff doesn't come cheap - each robot

costs between 200,000 to 300,000 hinese yuan (US$31,500 – US$47,000) with

an additional 5 million yuan (US$790,000) invested into the restaurant itself.

Harbin is one of the most genuinely unique places in China!!.

known for its annual ice festival, the city has many other marvels

, a huge tiger park �
that �travel faster than 300 km/h
a train

in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius.

These are all cool, but Harbin is apparently not a city to rest on its laurels.

The Robot Restaurant opened in Harbin in June .

.robot Restaurant staffs a total of 20 robots as waiters, cooks and busboys..

The robots were designed and built by a local firm, the Harbin Haohai Robot Company.

Each robot costs between 200,000 to 300,000 Chinese yuan (US$31,500� US$47,000) with

an additional 5 million yuan (US$790,000) invested into the restaurant itself.

With the average Robot Restaurant meal costing less than 62 yuan (US$10),

the restaurant is not meant to earn Harbin Haohai money.

Instead, it turns out the restaurant is just�� a brilliant piece of marketing !!

China restaurant goes robot crazy
Japan has been at the forefrunt of robotics for decades. Over the years it has created mechanised medics, football teams and even chefs.

watch how they are entertaining
