Good polish is important later in life, when a child grows up and enters the real world. A child could have had all the love he/she could get, but that love doesn't prepare them for the real world, where "knowing what to do" and "how to do it" is very important. Why else do they have etiquette consultants present seminars in the workplace and to graduating seniors in universities (well, they did at my school, anyway)? They didn't have to do that in the past, because kids WERE polished.
I don't think picking your grain rice by rice will get you anything but being laughed at in the business world. I am not sure what on earth your conception of a lady is, but I think you just need to find a nice man and get some buns in your oven, because you aren't prepared for business at all. You can't be your idea of a lady in business and be successful. Yes, you can still be feminine and polite, but I'll be damned if I'll get anywhere in my field by courtesying and eating my rice grain by grain.
