There are usually three types of people who like to say “thank you”. The second type should be cautious.
Dante once said: “Language, as a tool, is as important to us as a horse is to a knight. Just as the best horse is suitable for the best knight, so the best language is suitable for the best thought.”
Speaking is an instinctive gift given to every one by God. Through it, we can express our emotions and reveal our true thoughts.
If you want to know what someone is thinking, the best way is to “watch what he does and listen to what he says.”
A person’s behavior reflects his or her living habits.
What is between a person’s lips and teeth is the outward manifestation of his inner cultivation.
Perhaps people can whitewash themselves through false words, but they can still be seen in some subtle details.
People who are usually harsh in their words are bound to be cold and heartless by nature, while people with good intentions tend to speak gently and politely and observe etiquette.
Especially those who like to say “thank you” all the time usually belong to these 3 categories. See how many of them you belong to.
1. A well-educated person
Some of the differences between people are obvious in appearance, while others are inadvertent details.
Although the word “thank you” seems insignificant, even a little sloppy and perfunctory, it is this simple word of thanks that can reflect a person’s overall cultivation.
From childhood to adulthood, as we grow older, everyone will form their own unique habits, either due to their environment or changes in acquired education.
Suppose a person has the habit of thanking others. In that case, it means that in the process of growing up, he has not only formed an excellent character but also cultivated humility and politeness.
The famous actor Mindy Kaling does not have outstanding looks, and she is not even considered “ugly” in the entertainment industry.
Although she has no external advantages, Mindy Kaling developed good polite habits thanks to a good family education. Even after he became famous, he still did not lose this demeanor.
In a variety show, she transformed himself into a delivery girl and delivered food to others.
When she was recognized and invited into someone’s home, the first thing she kept saying was “thank you” to the other person.
Even though she had been running around all night and was very tired, he still remembered to express his gratitude for the other party’s warm hospitality.
It can be seen that Mindy Kaling’s reputation in the industry is not based on random flattery but on her actions.
As Franklin said:
“A person’s face is just the outer shell, but what determines a person’s image is another face: cultivation.”
A well-educated person understands the principle of empathy, the principle of being lenient to others, and the way to behave in society.
Words and actions are the hull that carries you on your journey, while self-cultivation is the sail that helps you on your long journey.
Only with excellent cultivation can one set sail for a long journey.
2. A person with a sense of proportion
As an individual, everyone has his or her comfort zone.
In these areas, one can move freely, but when others step into them, they will feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
Moreover, the definition of this range varies from person to person. Some people define a wider range, while others prefer a closer distance.
When two people are communicating, they cannot be sure where each other’s boundaries are, so the best option is to speak in moderation and without losing the sense of propriety.
A polite expression of “thank you” can make others feel approachable without pushing away the distance between you.
Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa and an anti-apartheid revolutionary, is celebrated not just for his political achievements but also for his exceptional humility, politeness, and respect for everyone he met. He was also so famous that people often visited his home. He might come into contact with many strangers in one day.
Whenever someone came to visit, he would not only receive them personally but also educate his children to be warm and polite to the guests.
For example, before a guest enters the door, you should take the initiative to greet him/her. After inviting the guest to take a seat, you should also hand over tea or water with both hands. Otherwise, it would be considered impolite.
His ability to strike a balance between relaxation and tension earned him a high reputation in life, and through his words and deeds, his children also inherited these fine family traditions.
Appropriate polite words can break down the social barriers between each other and eliminate the initial sense of distance.
People with high emotional intelligence can always find the right sense of propriety no matter who they are communicating with.
Only by speaking and communicating in moderation can you win people’s hearts.
3. A grateful person
It is not a matter of course that others help you, and you are lucky to get it.
For such good fortune, we should maintain the most basic respect and gratitude, be thankful, and remember human kindness.
If there is an opportunity in the future, we should return the favor and repay a drop of kindness with a spring.
No matter who you are, no one can be invincible forever. There will always be times when you need help from others.
If you want to turn bad times into good times, you must first learn to respect the kindness given by others.
As the saying goes: “Before you make money, you must first make friends; to make friends, you must first learn to be grateful.”
Only with a grateful heart can you have good luck.
“The better you are at talking, the happier others will be. The happier others are, the more they will like you. The more others like you, the more help you will get, and the happier you will be.”
Speaking is indeed easy, but speaking politely is the most difficult practice in one’s life.
A simple “thank you” brings dignity to others and also warms yourself.
I hope everyone can be kind to others and make their life path wider and wider.
