COURTEOUS PEOPLE SAY THANK YOU

There's this lesson I learned back in primary school at UPS that has stuck with me. 'Thank you, please, I'm sorry' the three basic things that must exist in the vocabulary of a courteous  person.

People pester others daily for something they want done. People go out of their way to do stuff for other people. At other times, out of love people decide to do favours for others and sometimes they are the big but minute or fiddling  things of life.

I still don't understand people who can't say 'thank you.' Not saying thank you is crass behaviour. The bible also entreats us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to always give thanks in everything.

Remember, people may not need a 'thank you' or demand for it but a 'thank you' makes you attractive, courteous and of course, next time people would still want to do you a favour.

Learn to say 'thank you' if you've not developed the attitude or habit of showing gratitude. I've come to understand that showing gratitude at all times even for the simple things is a habit that needs to be learned and acquired. Parents must on a daily basis inculcate in their children that habit of saying 'thank you.'

Courteous people say 'thank you' when they ask for the phone number of others and it is forwarded to them among other things. A person who can say thank you is an attractive person. It's crass behaviour to receive something and not murmur a thank you.

...so thank you for reading
