I gave gifts
to quite a few loved ones
over the holiday season.
I didn’t receive
a single thank you
or heck, any acknowledgment
at all.
Not one person mentioned
the gifts I’d given them.
Which made me wonder
if I should give gifts
next year.
People think the same way
if we don’t thank them
for their advice
or their help.
They believe
we don’t truly
want it or value it.
If you DO
want it or value it,
take thirty seconds
out of your day
and thank the person.
That’s all
you have to say –
“Thank you.”
Those two words
will vastly improve
your relationship
with that person.
