"The only two words you can never say enough are 'Thank You'."
- Unknown
Have you noticed that people are more willing and even DESIRE to help someone that is sincerely appreciative? Why do you think that is?
I have a THEORY. It is a very complicated theory that has a deep, dynamic context. Here ya go… "Most people are assh*les!"
While maybe not on purpose, most people consistently act POORLY towards one another. From cutting line at a store, to flipping you off in traffic because you will not let them over (like putting your blinker on entitles you to come over) or even just being passé about good service in a restaurant.
We are ALL guilty…
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Becoming more AWARE of your tendencies to be dismissive, assumptive and generally crappy to people will help you REALIZE that a SINCERE thank you is your the key to getting people to help you!!
Sending a small card that just says "thank you" to someone that has helped you is very EFFECTIVE. Sending a gift card to a local hot spot for someone that you DISAPPOINTED (with a note that says THANK YOU) often helps ease the pain. Even just calling someone on the phone and sharing with them the positive EFFECT they had on you can work WONDERS!
Think about how much more WILLING you would be to help others if they were just a little more OUTWARDLY appreciative. So, who you THANKING today??
Cheers,
Zach
