As a youth, George Washington learned some rules that helped him all his life. He was taught penmanship by his tutor who used “The Rules of Civility and Descent Behaviour in Company and Conversation” as dictated material that George would have to rewrite time, and time again in order to improve his penmanship. Doing this George also learned some manners, life principles in dealing with others, and how to make good conversation.
One of the rules that helped him not only in his youth, but also in his later years, and throughout his life, would be good to learn today.
