....how to be a real lady...

By all means, It's not that I'm saying that I'm a fake lady..hahaha...
But as the book said, 'being a woman does not automatically make one a lady'...
Being a lady differ in definition as the time goes.. and by today's definition,

• a lady is one that knows that by educating herself in every way possible from higher education to the common sense manners, empowers her to become a woman of accomplishment and poise...
• she knows that it is not the dress size she wears or the money she possess that brings her satisfaction in life..
• a lady knows that beauty and wealth can be fleeting, but her innner character is the measure by which others will ultimately judge her as a person.
• her courtesies, the high esteem in which she holds herself and others and her sincere word and thoughtfulness will reflect her strong values..

pheww~~ quite an accomplishment to get... being thought of as a "Lady" may be the one of the highest compliment a woman can receive in life...
