Blog #4: Fork it up to Etiquette

My parents were also keen on us developing and mastering the art of table manners and business etiquette, as well as honing our grooming and personal presentation. This helped us become more confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals.

As I've grown and developed over the years, I've come to truly appreciate the significance of proper grooming and personal hygiene. It's not just about looking and feeling your best - it's about cultivating self-respect, confidence, and respect from others.

As I started to travel more and immerse myself in diverse cultures, I began to see how deeply important these seemingly simple habits and rituals can be. In some countries, for example, proper grooming is seen as a sign of respect and discipline - a way of honoring yourself and those around you.

Of course, it's not just about impressing others - it's also about honouring and respecting yourself. When we take the time to groom and care for ourselves, we're sending a powerful message that we value our own well-being and dignity. And that, in turn, can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional health.

Looking back, I'm amazed at how far I've come, and I know that no matter where my future takes me, the skills and experiences I've gained along the way will continue to serve me well.
