Plastics- Hans Stromberg

My momma always told me, "be polite, Hans, it will get you where you want to go." I never really thought anything about it at the time because I was so young and naïve. Even though I didn't think about it, I unconsciously was polite anyway just because that was what I was taught to do as a kid. My mom always told me to say please when requesting anything and to always say thank you when something was done for me. As I go through life I notice less and less people saying these magic words, "please" and "thank you". I always think to myself, if only they remembered what their mother told them about manners, I would be thinking just a little bit better of that person. You never know what that little token of appreciation and politeness will get you, so you might as well do it anyway.  I believe that this life lesson has made me a better person and separates me from other people. Some people say that the little things in life make the biggest difference so that is why I always remember what my mutti taught me.
