From the time we're kids, our parents teach us the 3 magic words.
PLEASE
SORRY
THANK YOU.
Today, the television and as a result a few friends say things like "no need for formalities" or "in friendship there's no sorry and no thank you". Now if you notice, a lot of people complain about being disrespected today. The reason for this is either they are taken for granted, or their efforts go unnoticed or sometimes they are underappreciated. Worse still, they are depreciated.
Do you know why this is happening a lot more often now? Because people have forgotten the value of those three magic words. It's not a big deal to use them. It never hurt anyone. For all you know, it may even put a smile on a face that hasn't smiled in a while.
So value the things people do for you, regardless of how "formal" it may sound. You never know whose frown you might turn upside down! After all, etiquette is the basis of respect. Isn't that what our parents taught us?
