Courtesy is the best way to show respect for others, and in this day and age, the expectation to be polite has gone even higher. Courtesy demands one to be modest and grateful, especially to the ones who supported him/her during trying times. A person who is perceived to be courteous generally earns a lot of respect from the people around him for his nature. There are numerous simple ways of expressing courtesy like listening to others, not being overbearing or rude and helping people in times of need can go a long way in portraying one as a better human being.
