my family, the staff of the restaurant said I could stay there until I got my

help. Usually, the staff mind it if you stay in the restaurant for too long and
make other customers stuck outside. Luckily, my dad saw my message and
helped me. But it took 3 hours, and the staff were not even saying any bad
words to me. They tried to solve the problem for me. They’re nice.

I think the politeness of the Japanese are really good. It makes people feel
good when talking to a polite person. Hong Kong people should learn these
from the Japanese. We should respect others as they do to help people like

they do. Hong Kong will be a happier city if we mind our words and think about
others’ feeling. I started to be as polite as they are to strangers. I think I did
my best these days. I tried to talk with them politely and tried my best to
help them. You can be a polite person if you mind your words and care about

others’ feeling today. There are a lot of benefits to be polite. You can give a lot
of positive energy to others and be able to be happier. We need these when
we are in a city that’s not really that happy.

Being as polite as the Japanese is a good thing, but not all the time. For our
very best friends, we’ll know their ‘limit to be angry’. We’ll make fun of others
and we know they won’t mind. But if we are being polite all the time, we’ll lose
a lot of positive fun and good friends because we are too polite all the time

and get labelled as a ‘serious person’. Not many people want to be friends with
a really serious person.

My goal is to be polite when I should and be funny and friendly when I should

and need to. I will try to be a positive person.
