Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) what and amazing companion, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon) prayed for his knowledge to increase, Ibn Abbas became the one biggest scholars of the companions.
Hundreds if not thousands of people were taught by him, mashallah.

It is neither wise nor necessary to mention ones own faults or the others fault as this will only make the other person think less of you. However, if for some reason you deem it necessary to 'rebuke' your friend then it should be done privately and in a manner that shows that you really care for them and only wish their well being, and therefore you must say etc..

In the movie "Dances with Wolves" the native Americans were talking about what to do about the solider at the fort. They took turns speaking, and every time they disagreed they began by saying something good about the person they disagreed with, acknowledging the validity of what they said before countering it. I thought that was extremely wise and civil.

Manners are in low demand these days it seems...everyone feels they can make whatever sort of comments about others how ever they choose...regardless of the outcome.
I hate to mention the faults of anyone much less a friend...less they take the chance to do likewise with me....Im very much aware of my faults(sigh) and hate to think others are aware of them too.....Im working on it though....(does that count)

I realy am no judge of my own good manners, but I try to have them. Every time I interact with people I try to have this thought in my mind that I should be polite and behave nicely.
And I learn them from others as well.

Sounds like "remove the log from thine own eye prior to pointing out the splinter in another's."
Its a nice sentiment, but in no way original.

I think that is good advice. I am the first to admit my many flaws.

Peace.
