World thank you day.
Many times you had that good feeling because someone said thanks to you. Many times, you felt more powerful, more determinated, you felt ready to help and to do much more, just because you received a simple “thank you”.
Thanking is part of these small words that bring energy. A simple thank you can fuel people engine and push them to do very big things that you did not even imagine. A small thank you can make people act for you, for the family, for the organization, for the community, and others. A small thank you can make people do things that the biggest amount of money cannot pay them for.
If a thank you did not exist we would need much more money to pay for many little things, and this would quickly empty your pockets. There is another important thing that I bellieve: if you are a professional and you are getting remunerated for a service, if the client just give the money and does not acompany it with a warm thank you; there is an high percentage that you just lost a client and even five other clients.
World thank you day, great moment, great opportunity to thank your friends just for being your friends, thank your parents for their love and presence, thank your teachers, your neighboors, thank people for their supports or else. And you know what? The positive effect will be felt quickly.
Positives side effects of a thank you are endless, repetitive, and rechargeable. A thank you can also be seen as a good old wine. A thank you works and can be used at anytime.
– You can say thank you immediately for something or a service you received; and it will work
– You can say thank you many days after you have forgotten to say thanks; it will still work
– You can say thank you for something that you refused to say thanks for, after months or years; it will work
– You can say thank you for something you have already said thanks for; it will work again and even better with more power than when you said it previously.
A simple thank you can push people to do more for you. A simple thank you can influence for much more performance at a professional or operational environment
Let’s do this exercice today, which will help you to observe, live and apreciate the power of a “thank you”. After reading this post; call, text or go to someone or some peple and say thanks to him, her or them, for something you have already thanked them for. Than feel free to share about everyone feelings.

Suppose a list of items or things which abundance is at its worst in the modern age was to be made, among the items topping the list besides that of endangered species like the white rhino would be peace. Peace in its respect can be likened to salt, whose absence is most felt rather than its presence which is more often than not taken for granted.
The ushering of the new millennium was believed to be a beckon of peace; most people hoped that the world would be a better place if not safer to reside but that has remained just but a dream. Nations geared up against others and if that’s not enough invasions resulted and lives lost hence writing yet another chapter of bitterness in the world history books. The question to pose doesn’t the world get tired of this??? The pain and suffering seen in Africa, the Middle East and other places ought to be a concern for the whole world. What if we were to join hands together and help each other achieve tranquility, would it cost us much? That is a question to ponder upon.
The real change starts with us, as seen in the words of Mahatma Gandhi “be the change you want to see in the world”. It’s not only up to United Nations but also us. Peace is a personal responsibility that each and every inhabitant of planet earth should embrace. Our perception towards our neighbors, religion, socio-economic and political perspectives to life is to be governed well lest they result to hate that builds up to war. The Rwandan Genocide, Hiroshima-Nagasaki is but examples of acts of war where peace was at its lowest and the scars of those incidents haunt the world to date!
“Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world’s problems?” ― Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985-1995. Such words drives the mind upon a wheel of thoughts that war is not the only way to solve issues and that should sink into the heads of the leaders whose hunger for power is never satisfied. If peace was to be a dream then it is high time that the inhabitants of earth should dream one dream; then we all wake up and strive to validate our dream and maybe we shall usher in a period of time when we can comfortably boost that the world is indeed peaceful. I rest my case hoping that our hearts would embrace peace first and spread the same in the modern world.
