The Value of Thank You


The value is high. People who hates will love. People who love will love more. Just by getting thank you. It's true. It happened to me earlier today. Well not saying anyone hates me, but a friend to my mom, made something for me as gift for my convocation. It was during lunch time when i got to mum's office to get the car. Saw the gift was put on the table waiting for me to get it. Took it and told mum i'll come by again later in the evening cause i was in rush to get back to school for extra class.

And so, it was 5pm when i got to mom's office to fetch her. Aunt 'T' was there. She,a person who seldom waits for anything, waited. I knew it immediately.

Parked the car by the side, and mom got in straight away but i told her to wait. And i was right, as i got out of the car, walking towards her, she was already walking fast heading my way and..

"I waited for you amoi, to say thank you".. she smiled. "yea, im sorry auntie, i had extra class today i could not wait, but thanks a lot" "No lah, just a bit only, nothing much lah ho, congratulations again", she replied. "It doesnt matter auntie, it's the thought that counts"

Her smile was the brightest upon hearing that reply. (",)

So you see, when you think that small little word doesnt mean a thing, it actually does, HUGE. Take some time to practice this besides saying good morning... Be it to the lady giving back small change at public toilet, or Mom making you hot milo, even someone who opens the door for you when your hands are full, do it.. you'll see how amazing your day will be uplifted with delight.
