Translation of Essence of Etiquette
What is etiquette? Why is it so important? In simple words, etiquette is good behaviour which makes a human being different from animals. Etiquette or appropriate behaviour is really important because human being is a social animal. A man has good etiquette if he behaves in a socially responsible way.
শিষ্টাচাৰ কি? ইমান গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কিয়? সহজ ভাষাত ক’বলৈ গ’লে শিষ্টাচাৰ হ’ল ভাল আচৰণ যিয়ে মানুহক জীৱ-জন্তুৰ পৰা পৃথক কৰি তোলে। শিষ্টাচাৰ বা উপযুক্ত আচৰণ সঁচাকৈয়ে গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কাৰণ মানুহ এটা সামাজিক প্ৰাণী। এজন মানুহে সামাজিকভাৱে দায়বদ্ধ আচৰণ কৰিলে হে তেওঁৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ ভাল।
The idea of etiquette finds its origins among the nobles in early modern France. In fact, the word etiquette itself is derived from the French word for ticket or label, which means these rules were printed and used as labels for good manners.
শিষ্টাচাৰৰ ধাৰণাটোৰ উৎপত্তি হৈছে আধুনিক ফ্ৰান্সৰ আৰম্ভণিৰ গণ্য-মান্য লোকসকলৰ মাজত পোৱা যায়। আচলতে শিষ্টাচাৰ শব্দটো নিজেই ফৰাচী ভাষাৰ টিকট বা লেবেল শব্দৰ পৰাই উদ্ভৱ হৈছে, অৰ্থাৎ এই নিয়মবোৰ ছপা কৰি ভাল আচাৰ-ব্যৱহাৰৰ বাবে লেবেল হিচাপে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হৈছিল।
One of the most notable contributions to the literature of etiquette is Emily Post’s book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home published in 1922. Through this book, she achieved fame as the pioneer of modern etiquette.
শিষ্টাচাৰৰ সাহিত্যলৈ অন্যতম উল্লেখযোগ্য অৱদান হৈছে এমিলি পোষ্টৰ ১৯২২ চনত প্ৰকাশিত ‘এটিকুৱেট ইন ছ’চাইটি, ইন বিজনেছ, ইন পলিটিক্স এণ্ড এট হোম’ নামৰ গ্ৰন্থখন।এই গ্ৰন্থখনৰ জৰিয়তে তেওঁ আধুনিক শিষ্টাচাৰৰ পথ প্ৰদৰ্শক হিচাপে খ্যাতি অৰ্জন কৰে।
Etiquette is important as it enables a person to earn respect and appreciation in society. It teaches one the way to talk, walk, and most importantly, behave in polite company. The way one interacts with one’s superiors, subordinates, fellow workers, friends, teachers, and parents speaks a lot about one’s personality and upbringing. No one feels like talking to a person who doesn’t know how to speak or behave in a society.
শিষ্টাচাৰ গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কাৰণ ই ব্যক্তিক সমাজত সন্মান আৰু প্ৰশংসা অৰ্জন কৰিবলৈ সক্ষম কৰে। ই মানুহক কথা কোৱা, খোজ কঢ়া আৰু আটাইতকৈ গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কথাটো হ’ল ভদ্ৰ সংগী সকলৰ লগত আচৰণ কৰাৰ ধৰণ শিকাই। নিজৰ উৰ্ধতম বিষয়া, অধীনস্থ, সহকৰ্মী, বন্ধু-বান্ধৱী, শিক্ষক, পিতৃ-মাতৃৰ সৈতে যিদৰে যোগাযোগ কৰে, সেইটোৱে নিজৰ ব্যক্তিত্ব আৰু লালন-পালনৰ বিষয়ে বহু কথাই কয়। সমাজ এখনত কথা ক’ব বা আচৰণ কৰিব নজনা মানুহৰ লগত কথা পাতিবলৈ কাৰো মন নাযায়।
Some of the important types of etiquette are—social etiquette, meeting etiquette, eating etiquette, wedding etiquette, bathroom etiquette, business etiquette, telephone etiquette etc.
শিষ্টাচাৰৰ কিছুমান গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ প্ৰকাৰ হ’ল—সামাজিক শিষ্টাচাৰ, সভা-সমিতিৰৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ, খোৱাৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ, বিয়াৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ, বাথৰুমৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ, ব্যৱসায়িক শিষ্টাচাৰ, টেলিফোন শিষ্টাচাৰ ইত্যাদি।
Social etiquette is especially important as being in a society is an everyday affair for a human being. Some basic rules of social etiquette have been followed for a very long time. These are considered essential even today.
সমাজত থকাটো মানুহৰ বাবে দৈনন্দিন কাম হোৱাৰ বাবে সামাজিক শিষ্টাচাৰ বিশেষভাৱে গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ। সামাজিক শিষ্টাচাৰৰ কিছুমান মৌলিক নিয়ম অতি দীৰ্ঘদিন ধৰি মানি চলি আহিছে। এইবোৰ আজিও অপৰিহাৰ্য বুলি গণ্য কৰা হয়।
To say “thank you” costs you nothing. It is good manners to thank people, who have come to your aid. Using words of appreciation and offering compliments and praise whenever required are also considered basic etiquette. However, one needs to be genuine in one’s appreciation. Self-control is also one of the basic rules of etiquette. Self-control is the ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviour effectively in different situations. Keep a check on your behaviour, voice, and emotions if you are in a society. Do not be too loud. Do not boast about the things you possess or you have accomplished.
“ধন্যবাদ” বুলি ক’লে তোমাৰৰ এটকাও খৰচ নহয়। মানুহক ধন্যবাদ দিয়াটো ভাল আচাৰ-ব্যৱহাৰ, যিসকলে তোমাৰ সহায়ৰ কাৰণে আহিছে। প্ৰশংসাৰ শব্দ ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা আৰু প্ৰয়োজন হ’লে প্ৰশংসা আগবঢ়োৱাটোও মৌলিক শিষ্টাচাৰ বুলি গণ্য কৰা হয়। অৱশ্যে নিজৰ প্ৰশংসাত প্ৰকৃত হোৱাটো প্ৰয়োজন। আত্মনিয়ন্ত্ৰণো শিষ্টাচাৰৰ অন্যতম মৌলিক নিয়ম। বিভিন্ন পৰিস্থিতিত নিজৰ আৱেগ, চিন্তা আৰু আচৰণ ফলপ্ৰসূভাৱে নিয়ন্ত্ৰণ কৰাৰ ক্ষমতাক আত্মনিয়ন্ত্ৰণ বোলে। সমাজ এখনত থাকিলে নিজৰ আচৰণ, কণ্ঠ, আৱেগ আদিৰ ওপৰত চকু ৰাখিব লাগে। বেছি জোৰেৰে কথা নক’বা। তোমাৰৰ হাতত থকা বা সম্পূৰ্ণ কৰা বস্তুবোৰৰ বিষয়ে গৌৰৱ নকৰিব।
You may love to talk but do not be the only person talking all the time in a group. Instead, let others speak and listen actively. The art of genuine listening is a precious virtue. Active listening builds relationships, career, respect, and trust. Words are considered a strong tool in building and destroying relationships. Speak with kindness and due caution. Choose your words carefully and keep your body language open.
তুমি হয়তো কথা পাতি ভাল পোৱা কিন্তু গ্ৰুপ এখনত সকলো সময়তে কথা পতা একমাত্ৰ ব্যক্তি তুমিয়েই নহয়। বৰঞ্চ আনক সক্ৰিয়ভাৱে কথা কবলৈ দিয়া আৰু সক্ৰিয় ভাৱে শুনা। নম্ৰতাৰে শুনা কলা এক বহুমূলীয়া গুণ। সক্ৰিয়ভাৱে শুনা গুণে সম্পৰ্ক, কেৰিয়াৰ, সন্মান আৰু বিশ্বাস গঢ়ি তোলে। সম্পৰ্ক গঢ়ি তোলা আৰু ধ্বংস কৰাৰ ক্ষেত্ৰত শব্দক এক শক্তিশালী আহিলা হিচাপে গণ্য কৰা হয়। দয়া আৰু যথাযথ সাৱধানতাৰে কথা কবা। তোমাৰ শব্দবোৰ ভালদৰে বাছি লোৱা আৰু তোমাৰ শৰীৰৰ ভাৱ-ভংগী মুকলি কৰি ৰাখা।
The habit of being on time is one of the most desired traits in a human being. Arriving too early is not good etiquette, nor is arriving late. Good etiquette tells us to be punctual at any cost.
সময়মতে থকাৰ অভ্যাস মানুহৰ অন্যতম আকাংক্ষিত বৈশিষ্ট্য। বেছি সোনকালে অহাটো ভাল শিষ্টাচাৰ নহয়, দেৰিকৈ অহাটোও ভাল নহয়। ভাল শিষ্টাচাৰে আমাক যিকোনো মূল্যৰ বিনিময়ত সময়মতে কাম কৰিবলৈ কয়।
It is absolutely important to maintain eye contact during a conversation. It establishes a level of trust and understanding. It is also a sign of self-confidence and assurance. A person who is looking at numerous other things during a conversation is viewed as unsure, untrustworthy, and shifty.
কথা-বতৰাৰ সময়ত চকুৰ সংস্পৰ্শ বজাই ৰখাটো একেবাৰেই প্ৰয়োজনীয়। ই এক স্তৰৰ বিশ্বাস আৰু বুজাবুজি প্ৰতিষ্ঠা কৰে। আত্মবিশ্বাস আৰু আশ্বাসৰ লক্ষণো। কথা-বতৰাৰ সময়ত আন অসংখ্য কথা চাই থকা ব্যক্তিক অনিশ্চিত, অবিশ্বাস্য আৰু চতুৰ বুলি গণ্য কৰা হয়।
When it comes to school etiquette, it plays a pivotal role in the character-building process of a young student. As a future adult and a responsible future citizen, a student must follow school etiquette which will eventually help him in his future endeavours. There are some basic rules and manners that should be taught to students at school. Good marks and academic excellence will surely help a student to become successful but knowing how to conduct oneself, and understanding what is right and wrong are essential to survive in this competitive world. These are some important rules of school and classroom etiquette—be punctual, obey the school rules, be respectful to the teachers and staff, pay attention while the teacher is talking, don’t litter the classroom and school grounds, don’t mess the toilets, don’t graffiti, or vandalize school property, respect everyone’s rights and practise being well-mannered.

Summary – Essence of Etiquette
Etiquette means good behaviour. It is how we act and talk in front of other people. When we behave nicely, people respect us and like us. That is why etiquette is very important in life.
Long ago in France, rich people made rules about good manners. The word “etiquette” came from a French word that means “ticket” or “label”. These rules were like labels to show good behaviour.
In 1922, a woman named Emily Post wrote a book about etiquette. She taught people how to behave in home, office, public places and became very famous.
Etiquette teaches us how to talk nicely, walk properly, and behave well with others. It shows how we treat our teachers, friends, family members, and workers. It also shows what kind of upbringing we have.
There are many types of etiquette:
• Social etiquette – How to behave with people in society.
• Meeting etiquette – How to behave in meetings.
• Eating etiquette – How to eat properly with others.
• Wedding, bathroom, business, and telephone etiquette are also important.
Among all, social etiquette is very important because we live in society every day.
If someone helps you, you should say “thank you”. It is good manners. Saying nice things and praising others is also part of etiquette. But it should be honest. Do not say fake things.
Self-control is also a rule of etiquette. You should not get angry or talk loudly in public. Do not show off or boast about your things.
If you like to talk, that is good. But let others speak too. Do not talk all the time. Listen to others carefully. This is called active listening, and it builds trust and respect.
Words are powerful. They can make or break relationships. So speak with kind words. Choose your words carefully. Your body language should also be friendly.
Another good habit is being on time. Do not be too early or too late. Be punctual always.
When you are talking to someone, look at their eyes. This is called eye contact. It shows confidence and honesty. If your eyes move here and there, people think you are not serious or not truthful.
In school, etiquette is very important. It helps students become good people and responsible citizens. Only marks are not enough — behaviour also matters. Some important school manners are:
• Come to school on time.
• Follow school rules.
• Respect teachers and staff.
• Listen carefully in class.
• Keep classroom and school clean.
• Use toilets properly.
• Do not write on walls or break things.
• Be polite to everyone.
People who follow good etiquette are loved and respected. A kind, soft-spoken person spreads happiness and good feelings everywhere.
শিষ্টাচাৰৰ সাৰমৰ্ম
শিষ্টাচাৰ মানে ভাল আচৰণ। আমি আন মানুহৰ সন্মুখত কেনেকৈ কাম কৰোঁ আৰু কথা পাতো। আমি যেতিয়া ভাল আচৰণ কৰো তেতিয়া মানুহে আমাক সন্মান কৰে আৰু ভাল পায়। সেইবাবেই জীৱনত শিষ্টাচাৰ অতি গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ।
বহু আগতেই ফ্ৰান্সত সম্ভ্ৰান্ত মানুহে ভাল আচাৰ-ব্যৱহাৰৰ বিষয়ে নিয়ম প্ৰণয়ন কৰিছিল। “শিষ্টাচাৰ” শব্দটো ফৰাচী শব্দৰ পৰা আহিছে যাৰ অৰ্থ হৈছে “টিকট” বা “লেবেল”। এই নিয়মবোৰ ভাল আচৰণ দেখুৱাবলৈ লেবেলৰ দৰে আছিল।
১৯২২ চনত এমিলি পোষ্ট নামৰ এগৰাকী মহিলাই শিষ্টাচাৰ সম্পৰ্কে এখন কিতাপ লিখিছিল। ঘৰ, অফিচ, ৰাজহুৱা স্থানত মানুহক কেনেকৈ আচৰণ কৰিব লাগে শিকাইছিল আৰু বহুত বিখ্যাত হৈছিল।
শিষ্টাচাৰে আমাক শিকাইছে কেনেকৈ সুন্দৰকৈ কথা পাতিব লাগে, সঠিকভাৱে খোজ কাঢ়িব লাগে আৰু আনৰ লগত ভাল আচৰণ কৰিব লাগে। ইয়াত দেখুওৱা হৈছে যে আমি আমাৰ শিক্ষক, বন্ধু-বান্ধৱী, পৰিয়ালৰ সদস্য আৰু শ্ৰমিকসকলৰ লগত কেনে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰো। আমাৰ লালন-পালন কেনেকুৱা হৈছে সেয়াও ইয়াৰ পৰাই বুজা যায়।
শিষ্টাচাৰৰ বিভিন্ন প্ৰকাৰ আছে:
- সামাজিক শিষ্টাচাৰ – সমাজৰ মানুহৰ লগত কেনে আচৰণ কৰিব লাগে।
- সভাৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ – সভাত কেনেকৈ আচৰণ কৰিব লাগে।
- খোৱাৰ শিষ্টাচাৰ – আনৰ লগত কেনেকৈ সঠিকভাৱে খাব লাগে।
- বিয়া, বাথৰুম, ব্যৱসায়, টেলিফোনৰ শিষ্টাচাৰও গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ।
সকলোৰে মাজত সামাজিক শিষ্টাচাৰ অতি গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ কাৰণ আমি প্ৰতিদিনে সমাজত বাস কৰোঁ।
যদি কোনোবাই আপোনাক সহায় কৰে তেন্তে তুমি “ধন্যবাদ” বুলি ক’ব লাগে। ভাল আচাৰ-ব্যৱহাৰ। ভাল ভাল কথা কোৱা আৰু আনৰ প্ৰশংসা কৰাটোও শিষ্টাচাৰৰ অংশ। কিন্তু সৎ হ’ব লাগে। ভুৱা কথা নকবা।
আত্মনিয়ন্ত্ৰণো শিষ্টাচাৰৰ নিয়ম। খং উঠিব নালাগে বা ৰাজহুৱা স্থানত ডাঙৰকৈ কথা ক’ব নালাগে। নিজৰ বস্তুবোৰক দেখুৱা বা গৌৰৱ নকৰিবা।
যদি তুমি কথা পাতি ভাল পোৱা, তেন্তে সেয়া ভাল। কিন্তু আনকো কথা কবলৈ সুযোগ দিয়া। সকলো সময়তে কথা নাপাতিবা। আনৰ কথা ভালদৰে শুনা। ইয়াক সক্ৰিয় শুনা বুলি কোৱা হয়, আৰু ই বিশ্বাস আৰু সন্মান গঢ়ি তোলে।
শব্দবোৰে শক্তিশালী সম্পৰ্ক বনাব পাৰে বা ভাঙিব পাৰে। গতিকে মৰমলগা কথাৰে কথা কোৱা। তুমাৰ শব্দবোৰ ভালদৰে বাছি লোৱা। তোমাৰ শৰীৰৰ ভংগীমা বন্ধুত্বপূৰ্ণ হ’ব লাগে।
আন এটা ভাল অভ্যাস হ’ল সময়ত হোৱা। বেছি সোনকালে বা বেছি দেৰি নকৰিবা। সদায় সময়মতে থাকা।
কাৰোবাৰ লগত কথা পাতিলে তেওঁৰ চকুলৈ চোৱা ইয়াক চকুৰ সংস্পৰ্শ (ইংৰাজীত আই কন্টাক্ট বুলি কোৱা হয়) বুলি কোৱা হয়। আত্মবিশ্বাস আৰু সততা প্ৰকাশ কৰে। যদি তোমাৰ চকু ইফালে সিফালে লৰচৰ কৰে তেন্তে মানুহে তুমি ইমান ছিৰিয়াছ নহয় বা সত্য নহয় বুলি ভাবে।
স্কুলত শিষ্টাচাৰ অতি গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ। ই ছাত্ৰ-ছাত্ৰীক ভাল মানুহ আৰু দায়িত্বশীল নাগৰিক হোৱাত সহায় কৰে। কেৱল নম্বৰেই যথেষ্ট নহয় — আচৰণো গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ। স্কুলৰ কিছুমান গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ আচাৰ-ব্যৱহাৰ হ’ল- - সময়মতে স্কুললৈ আহিবা।
- স্কুলৰ নিয়ম মানি চলিবা।
- শিক্ষক আৰু কৰ্মচাৰীক সন্মান কৰিবা।
- শ্ৰেণীত ভালদৰে শুনিবা।
- শ্ৰেণীকোঠা আৰু বিদ্যালয় পৰিষ্কাৰ কৰি ৰাখিবা।
- শৌচাগাৰ সঠিকভাৱে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰিবা।
- বেৰত লিখিব নালাগে বা বস্তু ভাঙিব নালাগে।
- সকলোৰে প্ৰতি ভদ্ৰ হব লাগে।
ভাল শিষ্টাচাৰ পালন কৰা মানুহক ভালপোৱা আৰু সন্মান কৰা হয়। এজন দয়ালু, মৃদুভাষী ব্যক্তিয়ে সকলোতে সুখ আৰু ভাল অনুভৱ বিয়পাই দিয়ে।
