Elizabeth Post Passes Away, But Her Message Lives On
“Etiquette is meant to smooth the path between people to better relationships.” –Elizabeth Post (1920-2010)
Earlier this week marked the passing of an important figure in American culture, when Elizabeth Post, granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post and longtime director of the Emily Post Institute passed away at age 89. Considered by many to be the foremost expert on all things etiquette, Post played an important role in re-interpreting the rules of decorum to suit modern life. And it serves as a reminder that no matter how times may change, politeness never goes out of style.
Although you might think of etiquette as a kind of “pinkies up” pretentiousness, that couldn’t be further from the truth. As Post herself once said, being polite has much less to do with using the right knife with your fish, as it does with “having a kind attitude towards everyone.”
In our on-the-go, wireless world, having good manners might seem irrelevant, but the truth is, being polite is one of the easiest ways you can plant positive seeds wherever you go—even virtually. The little things you say and do in life and online, like thanking a cashier at the supermarket, holding the elevator for a stranger, or even thanking a “follower” for a friendly re-tweet, are like the tiny brushstrokes that paint the portrait of who you are. And while just one rude slip can leave a lasting negative impression, a practically effortless nice gesture can leave others feeling great and you looking even better.
Even in 2010, when the world around us is constantly evolving, etiquette is just as important as it was when Elizabeth Post began giving advice in 1965 because everyone matters. And by showing others common courtesy—whether they are strangers on the street or old friends—you instantly make them feel like they do.
