Write a thank-you note as soon as possible after receiving a gift.

Thank the person who gave you the gift, even if you didn't particularly like it. You don't have to lie, just thank the person for thinking of you.

Always make the note personal. You should start by thanking the person for the gift, and then mention why you like it.

If you're thanking everyone from your party, do not write them all the same note. It is perfectly fine to repeat lines, but everyone gave you a different gift and deserves a personal note.

Never be more aggressive than is necessary.

Don't be a sore loser. Think about what you could do differently next time, and stay calm and polite. Congratulate the other team or players, and tell them they played well.

If you do win, don't brag. It's fine to be happy that you won, but don't celebrate in a way that hurts anyone's feelings.

Always thank your coach and the referees.

When at a friend's house, don't leave your friend and go off on your own.

Unless you know the family well, wait for them to offer you something to eat or drink; don't help yourself.

If you sleep over at a friend's house and you and your friend stay up late, keep quiet so you do not wake others in the house. If they hear you all night, they might not invite you back.

After dinner, bring your plate into the kitchen.

Take your hat off when you enter a house or building unless it's part of your outfit and is more formal and dressed-up, or is a religious head covering.

If no one else in the house is wearing shoes, take your shoes off, especially if they are dirty or wet.

When someone holds a door open for you, remember to thank him or her. It is also polite to hold doors open for others, especially people in wheelchairs, people on crutches or someone with a stroller.
