Make it a habit to tell people “thank you.” To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.
― Ralph Marston

An assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business said, “Saying thanks can improve somebody’s own happiness, and it can improve the well-being of another person as well – even more then we anticipate, in fact,” “If both parties are benefitting from this, I think that’s the type of action we should be pursuing more often in our everyday lives.”

Being thankful builds trust and closer bonds with the people around us. Whether we say ‘thank you’ to someone or receive the same from others, the feeling it brings is that of pure satisfaction and encouragement.
