There are five magic words that I know,

Please
Sorry
Excuse
Thank you
Pardon me

The above is a nursery rhyme.

While in the shower this morning, I was counting my blessings and giving thanks to God. One of the things that came to mind was an experience I had with someone.

I had to write off something just to keep some level of friendship with someone. I showed someone favor that really wasn't easy to do at first.

What I got in return was a reaction that was fueled by an entitlement mentality or would you call it pride. The least I expected was a thank you.

So I almost got angry but then instead of getting angry, I decided to look at it from another angle.

I decided not to see it as pride for her side. Rather I saw it as a difference in upbringing and exposure. I was brought up to say THANK YOU for the least favour I receive from people. Maybe she wasn't brought up that way.

So today, I am grateful that I can say Thank you for the least favour I receive from people. I am grateful to my mother who instilled this in me. And I am grateful to everyone who gave me reasons to say thank you easily. I am grateful for @tojukaka who came about this idea on steemit. Thank you all so much.

Thank you is a magic word that softens the hardest of hearts. Train yourself to say it easily when you should.
