I was told to follow the illiterate rules while receiving a guest.
Firstly I should make a nice atmosphere, and assure my guests they can feel like in one's house.
Before their arrival it's neccesary to clean the house.
Everything have to shine.
Cooking the cakes and lay the table with white tablecloth is crucial.
The cutlery should compose with set of china.
On the table, you have to put the vase with flowers.
Ignite candles.
Secondaly, when the guest is knocking at the door, make sure to look perfect.
You should tie yours hair in a bun and make an impression of perfect mistress of the house.
Remember to dress up and put the high heels on.
Greet your visitor with smile on your face and ask him about his condition.
If the guest want to take off his shoes, forbid him and assure him that the floor was dirty anyway.
Ask him if he wants any tea or coffe, and put water on.
Invite him to the table and put the music on.
The most important thing is to behave casually and make an impression of relaxed person.
To make your visitor feel comfortable, you have to be relaxed by yourself.
You shouldn't touch on political topics.
It's better to talk about the weather and cuisine.
It's crucial to find a common ground.
Keep doing like that and finally you will find out that visits are unpleasent for you.
Ask yourself : why did you have to be so perfect?
What did you want to prove to others?
Taking life so serious can destroy your life.
