微小，但不該被忽略的～

A new year's resolution: Could we be a little more polite, please?

More and more last year, it seemed that many of us thought it our right to offend or inconvenience others. We considered consideration beneath us. Today, as we decide on our New Year's resolutions for 2009, being more polite would make an excellent choice.

禮貌正是這么一件事，微小但不該被忽略。
正因為它早應該是我們生活的一部分，不是嗎？

意外地看到這則報道，也很認同作者的看法。
不禮貌或禮貌的喪失，不僅僅是英國人的問題，恐怕這個地球上的每一個人都有責任多多反省自己的。

又：特別打動我的是文章結尾的"As life gets crueller, perhaps we'll get kinder."
