There are times when the absolute best course of action is to just say "Thank you".
Two powerful words that can change the course of a conversation. Often we given a compliment or even shown some act of kindness and just brush it off. It might be a kind word from someone about you, or a "pay it forward" act or even just common politeness.
Too often these days I continue to encounter a lack of common courtesy. A simple "Thank you" would suffice and make my day. I open a door for someone and they walk in without as much as a look or acknowledgement. As if it was expected that I hold the door. Humph!
Allowing a car to get that parking spot, or slow down so someone could get in front of you on the road or at the gym or in a line. Not even nod or a wave. How you can change someones day is to simply say "thank you"
Try it. Next time someone does or says something nice. Just say "Thank you"
That is the BALD TRUTH! Now Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get To Work!
