Learning to say "thank you" can increase your personality

It is important to say "thank you" because we're in a society where everyone wants to succeed in life and live their dreams and just few people stop by to carry others along in the journey to success.

Life is personal and everyone is in a journey to success. This journey has different bus stops. The bus stops in the journey of success are the achievement we achieve at different levels.

Moving from primary school to secondary school is an achievement, moving from secondary school to the university is another level of achievement.

For you to succeed as a student, you'll need to spend lots of time on your books. if you didn't study and you happen to meet someone who offered to teach you what you didn't study, then you should be grateful to him or her, whether it was paid for or not (my opinion).

Several years ago, I remember rushing up to a lecturer after a 2 hour lecture. he (the lecturer) stopped when he noticed I was actually walking towards him and gave me a serious look. I think what was in his mind that period was "here comes another unserious and dumb student to ask questions". when I got to him, he said

sam what is the matter?

I said

sir I just wanted to say thank you for the lecture, I read what you taught this morning before but didn't quite understand it, today's lecture just explained everything sir.

He smiled and said

OK follow me, I'll give you some video tutorials to help you understand it more.

People think and reason differently and not everyone would say thank you to a lecturer. I don't run up to all my lecturers to tell them "thank you", but saying "thank you" that day gave me access to more materials and I earned FRIENDSHIP with the lecturer that day.

THANK YOU; As simple as those two words are, they have the ability to determine how far you'll go in your journey of success.

Saying Thank you gives people the impression that you're a loyal person and these little action can further strengthen your relationship with other people and make them have good intentions towards us.

People hardly say "thank you" for services they paid for, they believe they shouldn't say thank you because it wasn't a favour. Personally I say thank you even to the taxi driver, not because I want any favour from him, but because it's now an habit.

Saying thank you can define your attitude sometimes, because rude people are not grateful people, you'll hardly find a grateful rude person. Those two qualities don't work together.

I picked up an attitude from a friend this year to always write a list of people I was going to say thank you to everyday and every week.

I carefully go through my achievements everyday and every week and write out the names of people who helped me achieve those goal directly or indirectly.

I've not been able to meet up with that good habit everyday, but I'm still trying to meet up every week and every month.

Saying "thank you" is one good habit you can pick up this week. Call someone up and say thank you, write to someone and say "thank you" or write about the person on Steemit.

So right now I'll like to say thank you to great people who have helped me to understand steemit through their videos on YouTube. People like...
