“Courtesy and cordiality are not only not the same, but they are incompatible. Why so? Courtesy is an effort, and cordiality is free.”
Anthony Trollope
Cordiality
Cordiality is a trait possessed by some people, who are perceived by others as kind, understanding, cooperative, warm, honest, and considerate.
In short, cordiality could be defined as a person's simplicity, kindness, and gentleness, and it is common to associate friendliness with respect and courtesy.
Last Saturday, I attended an exhibition of goods and services organized by companies affiliated with the Lara State Chamber of Industry, an annual event that I have attended as a visitor in previous years.
While walking through the aisles where the various exhibitors' stands were located, I had the opportunity to gather information about the products on display from the promoters and sales consultants present, some of whom cordially smiled for the camera on my phone, as can be seen in the images I am sharing.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Cordialidad
La cordialidad es un rasgo que poseen algunas personas, quienes son percibidos por los demás como amables, comprensivos, cooperativos, cálidos, honrados y considerados.
En pocas palabras, podría definirse la cordialidas como la sencillez, la amabilidad y la gentileza de una persona, siendo habitual vincular la cordialidad al respeto y a la cortesía.
El pasado sábado, asistí a una exposición de bienes y servicios organizado por las empresas afiliadas a la Cámara de Industriales del Estado Lara, siendo este un evento que se realiza de forma anual, y al que he asistido como visitante en años anteriores.
Durante el recorrido por los pasillos donde se encontraban ubicados los diversos stands de los expositores, tuve la oportunidad de recabar información de los productos exhibidos por parte de las promotoras y asesoras de ventas allí presentes, algunas de las cuales, le obsequiaron cordialmente una sonrisa al lente de mi teléfono como puede observarse en las imágenes que comparto.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
