If you want to be a polite person, you need to develop good manners. When Phillippa Lally, a health psychology(心理学) researcher studied the habits of 96 people for a study, she discovered that it took 66 days to develop a new habit. If you want your good manners to come natural, you must learn and practise them every day.

Here are three polite habits you need to learn：
Give other people enough personal space. Most people are uncomfortable with others they don’t know very well getting too close. You’ll know you did the right thing when you see the other person relax once you put a little space between you.

Don’t tell everything you know. Giving too much information too soon is rude. Most people you don’t know very well prefer not to hear every detail of your health or love affairs(事情). Learn to make small talks with new acquaintances(熟人) and save the heartfelt(真诚的) conversations for close friends.

Use polite languages. Being polite might not have the great effect you want, but it won’t have people covering their children’s ears when they see you coming.

The most important thing to remember is that showing respect is necessary if you want people to see you as a polite person. And the best time to start is now, and finally, you’ll be in the habit of having good manners.
