In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, courtesy is described as a: behavior marked by polished manners or respect for others: courteous behavior b: a courteous and respectful act or expression.

Common courtesy can be as simple as saying “please” and “thank you” when asking for and receiving a service, gift or assistance.Kindness and courtesy do go a long way and are noticed by others even if you do not realize it.Letting someone in front of you in traffic is easy.Hold open a door for someone or give a person a hand with his groceries.Give up your seat on the bus to someone who might need it.Introduce yourself to the new employee or kid at school and take the time to introduce her to the rest of the crew.

These are just a few examples of small things that make a difference to someone else. They are momentary deeds of being courteous.
