Creating the habit of saying thank you.

I wanted to bring a small but important topic of creating the habit of saying thank you.

We tend to forget that just as little as saying thank you, we could truly make other people feel good about themselves.

The technique is to say thank you to them, while looking in their eyes while smiling. :-) This lets them know that you truly appreciate them and the generosity of what they have done.

We should say thank you to strangers who open doors for us in public places, we should say thank you to our bosses for criticizing us, we should say thank you to our subordinates who've sacraficed so much for the sake of our success, we should say thank when someone hands us our mail, our food; even the smallest little thing someone could do for us like telling us where the restroom is in a nearby shopping mall.

Lets appreciate the little things by making others feel good about themselves by creating the habit of saying thank you.

Need help? Just genuinely help others..

I came across a friend the other day who shared with me an interesting story in which I will bring up on today's post. It is about genuinely helping others in order for us to receive help in return.

In today's fast paced world, we have the tedency to focus and work on something that only benefits us and only us. We spend most of our lives living the process of helping ourselves to acheiving what we plan to accomplish. We consider jobs that only benefit us, we make sales calls that benefits us, we create business plans & strategies to benefit us, we use our links and networks to benefit us.... but have we ever thought about taking an action to purely help someone else?

Within the natural state of give and take, we tend to give because we have an interest to take.. Have you ever genuinely helped someone for the sake of helping them with no interest for your own benefits? Not many of us do..

My friend spoke about the power of reciprocal return. If we genuinely help someone full hearted with nothing to expect in return; one day we will almost automatically receive help from others in different ways we could ever imagine.

So, lets develop our help habits and help those in need.
