Saying thank you is a good habit and in fact it is an “An Attitude of Gratitude”

No one denies the importance of gratitude in our lives, but the question is how to make it happen? The initial step is to realize that it’s much more than saying thanks for something awesome that occurred to us. 

 


“Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames. Save it we can and save it we must--and then shall we earn the eternal Thanks of mankind and, as peacemakers, the eternal blessing of God.”

-John F. Kennedy in his Address to the United Nations General Assembly (1961).

1. On receiving a compliment.

Never the compliments by ignoring the statement. In this way, you don't acknowledge the person who was good enough to say something. Just saying “Thank You” acknowledges the person fully who made the compliment and enables you to enjoy the happening also.

 

 

Example: “Your Watch looks great.”

·         Instead of: “Oh, this old thing? I purchased it many years ago”

·         Try saying: “Thank you. My pleasure! you like it.”

2. In case you’re running late.

We all have to face being late on some occasions which is the worst. The individual who is late feels stress, and on the other hand, it's annoying for the person on the other end.

Many of us use, “Sorry I'm late” and it is said due to humbleness which shows your situation, while saying “. Thank you for waiting” turns the situation to others that they have been sacrificing their time for waiting you, in return you acknowledge the sacrifice.

 

Example: You arrive 10 minutes late.

·        Instead of: “I am so sorry for being late. I was caught in the Traffic Jam,”

·        Try saying: “Thank you for your patience for waiting me”

3. In case you're comforting someone.

If someone informs you about bad news which may be awkward. Then instead of adding negative comments to the happening, you should still find some positive points there and not the negative i.e. thinking a good idea to add a silver lining to the issue. “Well, at least you have…” the best way to respond is to thank someone for trusting you and choosing you to share his bad news.

Example: Your colleague's father passed away recently.

·         Instead of: “Still you have a lot of loving memories to hold onto.”

·         Try saying: “Thank you for sharing that with me. I notice this is bad luck and hard time for you.”

4. In case you're receiving supportive feedback.

Feedback can be very supportive; however, we seldom see it that way. Whether it is an unattractive performance appraisal from your manager or an email from an unfortunate client, the normal reaction is to get self-justifying. That's a shame as the exact response is to just say, “Thank You” and then, using the information to increase positivism as much as possible.

Example: “This task isn't upright enough. I supposed you would do well.”

·         Instead of: “You don't recognize. Here's what actually occurred.”

·         Try saying: “Thank you for supposing more of me.”

5. In case you're unsure if you should thank someone.

When in uncertainty, simply say thank you. There is no disadvantage. Are you fairly concerned regarding presenting too much gratitude to the individuals in your life?

For example: You may face a situation when you think that “Should I send a Thank You card in this situation?”

I would fairly advise: “Yes, you should.”

The other way is to imagine, “Should I tip him?” and if you don't, at least say thank you.

Ultimately, say thank you, more frequently.
