I am who I am. I doubt I will change this late in life. It does seem to me most of the hurt feelings I have felt have come from another's lack of manners. In my reasoning, bad manners results in bad behavior and being insensitive to another's feelings. I have 10 rules of good manners and I am fairly certain if practiced, the World would be a better place. Here are my Top 10 Manner Musts: 10: Good manners should be practiced everywhere but especially on the telephone. When answering your telephone it IS NOT "yeah what do you want?" and especially do not answer a business telephone in this manner-it is not good manners. 9: Exiting an elevator or store. PEOPLE LISTEN UP the exiting party has the right of way. You are not going to be able to enter an elevator that is full until you allow the occupants to EXIT!! This seems a no brainer but so many times I have been the exiting party and have to tell the idiot person trying to enter the elevator "Excuse me may I get by you?" 8: Don't be a buttinski. If you are at the store and the sales representative is helping another customer DO NOT butt in with your question or need for assistance. Wait your freaking turn! 7: Don't cut in line. Save a life, don't cut. Does it really need to be said? 6: Close your mouth when you are eating. Seriously. I hate to say this, but I have two really good friends who married men that this manner seems lost on. These men chew so loudly and with their mouths open that no one at the dinner table can hear any conversation. I should add to this rule good eating manners are a must. Don't start eating until everyone is seated. 5: Thank you, Please, You are Welcomed. Just a few words people should learn and use on a regular bases many times a day. 4: Give credit where credit is due. Do not take credit for another's work or idea. This one is especially important in work situations. Honesty is valuable in business and your personal life. 3: Don't berate your servers at the restaurant, store clerks, or anyone who is providing a service to you. It's just a bad idea. I have had the same hair stylist for the last 17 years. I would never treat her badly. Always be nice to anyone holding scissors in their hands or putting dye on your hair. Trust me on this one. 2: Parking spaces especially during business times. 1: Turn off your freaking cell phone when at the movies, museum, high end restaurant, theater, on the tram ride at Universal Studios, in the office, or anywhere people are trying to listen to someone else and not you droning on and on about your diarrhea.

The so-called “editing of the devil” tries to squeeze out emotional moments and create a media frenzy. But “K-Pop Star” on SBS is somewhat different. This program focuses more on live performances rather than what’s happening backstage. The judges are more composed and professional as well. Last Sunday’s episode presented a unique situation. Park Jin-yeong’s JYP, Yang Yeong-seok’s YG and BoA’s SM Entertainment agencies chose six contestants they want to train. After the second round, JYP and YG used up all their picks. But BoA, herself a singer, forfeited her final slot because she didn’t want to pick anyone she didn’t feel completely confident about. After the judges’ closing remarks, the staff members were about to clear the stage when a girl raised her hand - Lee Jeong-mi. The 17-year-old girl reluctantly pointed to the card in BoA’s hand and said, “I will forever be regretful because of that last remaining card. Please let me sing one more time and give me a second chance.” She began to sing desperately. She had not been an outstanding performer all along. In one of the past episodes, she revealed her story about bullying at school that made her transfer. She had been passive and lacked confidence, but this time, she was different. After she finished singing without accompaniment, BoA spoke: “Just when everyone else was about to give up, you came out and sang. That’s the spirit I am looking for. This is a game of survival. Never forget the moment when you raised your hand. I want to give my sixth card to Lee Jeong-mi.” BoA’s choice may not fit the typical survivor-show star. However, “K-Pop Star” was a show of amateurs, and desperation and willingness to make a dream come true was just as important as vocal talent. BoA knows the meaning of desperation better than anyone. She went to Japan at age 15 and rose to stardom overseas. The first character she memorized in Japan was “ru,” for “tears.” If she had been discouraged or had given up, we would not have been able to enjoy the music of the singer who is already established at age 26. The world may try to put you down, but there are people who are persistent and press on. Just when you think everything is over, you have to build up courage and stand up again. The courage of Lee Jeong-mi and the choice of BoA once again reminds us of this valuable lesson. </DIV> <DIV class=article_content></DIV> <DIV class=article_content>Questions.</DIV> <DIV class=article_content></DIV> <DIV class=article_content>1.
