Etiquette skills are said to be visible signs of the state of your professionalism and suggest a lot about your personality. As you proceed in the school of success, you will find out that little details can make a great difference.
The perception people have about you, readable from your social etiquette skills, to a large extent determines how they accept you, whether they will do business with you, and to what extent they will go if they must deal with you. This central principle is a type of the Law Of Perceived Value. Psychology teaches us that people form their opinions and prejudices of others based upon their observation from a distance. There's nothing as terrible as constantly, unknowingly putting out the wrong signs about your person. It is important to be deliberate about projecting the right image of yourself.
A great man of God in one of his books told of how he missed an opportunity many years ago. The top notch students of his University were to be selected to participate in an international exchange programme. This man of God had been successful in the initial pick based upon academic performance and excellent grades in the tests administered. He was certain that he will make it to the United States. After all said and done, the selectees were invited for a meal. At this point of course there were no doubts about the deal. He reports that just when his mouth was full, one of the examiners engaged him in a discussion. Unknown to him, this was the final selection stage. The meal session was a test of dinning etiquette skills.
Well, the final selections were published, but his name wasn't shortlisted. He knew he had great grades in all the tests, and so was bothered about this development. In further enquiry he discovered he failed the dinning etiquette test.
According to this great man, it took him another fifteen years before he will get his next opportunity to travel to America.
If you plan to deal with royalty, and those in the upper echelon of society, it is expedient that you take your etiquette skills development seriously.
