"THANK YOU" Do You Remember Saying the Phrase?

 4 Reasons to Say the Words "Thank You"

In our daily life, we all say the phrase, "thank you" or get told such. However, not all of us do it as enough as needed. And this is because they think it's limited to being a cultural thing. Of course, saying "thank you" is oftentimes cultural in different societies, but there are many invaluable reasons why to say such more than being cultural. Have you ever given a seat on a bus to a pregnant woman or an old person and they didn't tell you "thank you"? If yes, I think you thought bad of them. Right? This blog is just to help you know why you should say "thank you" as much as you can to people who do you good. Even when they've done something so simple. So, the reasons are listed below: 

1. Acknowledgement: When someone does you something good, for instance picking your phone which falls. Inside themselves, they already think they do something great. Consequently, they expect you to value such action and appreciate. If you don't do it, the person can't claim openly. Nevertheless, they start questioning you and bemoaning your characters. Actually, when we tell our friends "thank you", they will pretend there's no need and reply something like, "don't mention", "no need",... Sure; they are pretending. When you do this, they feel glad that you noticed their actions and the care they had for you. So, don't be misled by the reply, they're really happy you acknowledged and recognized their efforts. So, be careful.
2. Motivation: For those who learned educational psychology, you understand how much motivation plays a role in behavioral change/shaping. And, if you didn't do this course, you can still infer how this plays a role since you are educated, meaning you were once motivated. When you do something good and someone motivates you, you will be much eager to do better than you did the first moment. So, this is what the jejune phrase, "thank you" does. When you thank someone for a very simple thing they've done you, they will be much eager to do bigger things than they did before. 
3. Boosting Relationship: When your friend, sibling or your parent does you something good and you appreciate it, you are elevating your relationship to a higher degree. This is because they will think of you as a good person, a reasoning person and just someone really to be closer with. With this, they will be encouraged and motivated to stay longer with you as they develop the need to do you better. 
4. Respect: There is a side in which "thank you" will display as respecting person. For example, when a person very younger than you helps us with something, we tend to ignore saying "thank you". We think they should serve older people than them and there is no need to thank them. Many other examples reflecting where we tend to ignore thanking people; like when helped by people we supervise, those we lead... just people minor to us. Nonetheless, this is a big mistake. We still need to appreciate their efforts. When we do this, they will feel respected and think of us as respecting people. Don't you think it's good being portrayed as a respecting person? I am sure you do. So, thank everyone who does you good no matter how minor they are to you.

If you used to say "thank you" as enough as needed, Kudos. If you did it thinking it's just a cultural thing, consider the above reasons and do it considerably. People will value you if you do this.
