'Thank you.'

They're quite possibly the nicest two words in the language. Because, like praise, gratitude is its own virtue. It just works. You know when you get a note or even an email saying 'thank you'? How does it make you feel? We often think they've sent it to the wrong person. (And usually they have.) But it's nice nonetheless. And there's another nice word - 'nonetheless'.

  • Pamela Pamela did this action

    Thank you

    Where do I start?? It costs nothing to say Thank you, yet it seems to be going out of fashion. And, with any act of giving, there's always a benefit to the giver too. I try and go further: if a particular product or assistant in a shop has worked very well, I'll write to praise those responsible. It's too easy to moan about things: show those around you that you appreciate them 28 December 2009, 09:58

  • nathalie nathalie did this action

    say it from your heart

    actions speak louder than words and gratitude or joy shows on your face.
    here in japan, often saying the words 'arigato gozaimashita' are common courtesy, which reminds you to be thankful for simple things, and for life, every single experience. It could be a lesson from a teacher, a comment or advice from a friend, honest practice at sports, the list is endless.     09 December 2009, 05:35

  • Amy Qureshi Amy Qureshi and friends did this action and got 20 people to do it too

    Thank You

    So last year, our idillic riverside cottage was going to be sold from under our feet. My step-dad, Trevor is the Lockeeper at Hanham Lock, and so that's where I grew up. We were at the centre of a tight-knit community who share everything. We grew veg, played music, had bonfires, went boating, built rope swings and made maore friends then I can count.
    Faced with homelessness, my geniuos step-dad wrote the 'Thank You Song'. It is to remind us all how much we have to be thankful for. The idea was that people would download it to help save the house...
    We all helped make the video, the small blonde girl is my sister, the man and woman who make their bodies into shapes are my parents <3
    ... and I'm in there somewhere as well!

    The song didn't take off, but I still love it, brings a tear to my eye!

    We kept being positive, and after a year of worry and petitioing, the house is no-longer being sold :-)THANK YOU! (-:

    Sometimes saying thank you to no-one in particular can be just as good :-)

  • Daniel Melia Daniel Melia did this action

    thank you

    Today, i came back from Eskdale after being on a W.A.W.W.D trainging trip =], when we arrived in Blackburn i rang my mum and asked her if she could pick me up as i have a broken leg and travelling places is fairly tough, i wasn't able to get the lift as my brother was borrowing my mum's car to go to work in. So i was pretty screwed, but Hannah's mum offered to give me a lift seen as they live on the way to my house. I was very greatful for the lift and made sure to say thank to Hannah's family for taking me home . =] 30 June 2009, 21:04
  • bkwmkiwi bkwmkiwi did this action

    Saying thank you can be beneficial to you as well. I wrote an essay on five teachers who inspired me and sent it to each of them, and since then, they have been absolutely lovely to me (but they don't play favourites, per se... ...). One of them even thanked ME for reminding her to thank people! 31 December 2008, 07:40

    Ditto ... Sainsbury's Conference


    Come on all you 2,000 Sainsburys people !

    Let's all leave a message of appreciation for Eugenie's fantastic, inspiring speech.
    How apt would it be for 2,000 Sainsburys folk to do their little bit and say "Thank You", and together we could multiply our message of thanks to her so many times.
    So, thanks Eugenie, I hope everyone else gets on their Soapbox, and you keep on yours.     04 September 2008, 04:50
  • Mrs Eds Mrs Eds did this action

    Show your appreciation


    We are very quick to complain about poor customer service but I wonder how often we say thanks to people for doing a good job.
    The driver who delivered my stuff today was courteous, helpful and efficient.
    Afterwards I thought that he deserved a little recognition, so I emailed his company to say thanks to him, hope they pass the message on. In fact, hope they make him employee of the week.
    Thanks Tony     22 May 2008, 11:27
  • Barbara Barbara did this action

    The world needs good news


    Hi, my name is Barbara, I moved to NZ with my two sons last year, after almost 2 decades of 'expat-life' in Asia. I am a Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist and am in the process of setting up my business here in the South Island. My immigration status is 'critical' , my work visa will run out next week, our support payment from ex-husband/father has been reduced etc etc.. in the midst of all the stuff that has been building up over the last weeks I have donated money, I have introduced my bi-monthly free newsletters, I have recently offered free relaxation/meditation sessions in my newly created practise/workshop and most of the things that you mention in the 'actions' log have been with me (and my sons) for a long time. It is fantastic to have found you and if I can be of any contribution, please let me know. www.walkyourtalkinternational.co.nz , Cheers, LoveΧ, Barbara

    Wow... I scanned the action list and found out I did more than I thought. I then sent this website to clipmarks so all my friends and followers on clipmarks can get a buzz and do something.
