Never talk back to older people, especially to your mother and father.

Never whine or frown when spoken to by your elders.

Never argue with your elders  they know best.

Never do anything that is forbidden by your elders.

Always rise to a standing position when visitors enter.

Never address a visitor until he has started the conversation.
