Thank you , what it means to you?

Hi, I still reply 'your welcome' to a simple 'thank you'. Whenever I think that there's nothing to thank me about, I would reply, 'No worries, it's nothing'. I belief a simple 'thank you' could make up someone's day. It's a manner of showing your gratitude to a person who have helped you.

I always say Thank you when someone opens the door for me, picks ups things that I've accidentally dropped or sneezing I also do the same for them but rarely get a "you're welcome" Some people are so rude and dont have thank you or any polite words in there vocabulary.

Great topic! Children learn their manners from their parents, and I remember my own parents always reminding me to say thank you until it became a habit. I was also taught to write thank you notes for gifts or hospitality. But it is work for parents to teach their children and keep reminding them until the habit is formed, and many parents who work don't have the full care for their children anymore and aren't always with them to help them form these habits. Now they are starting to teach manners in some of the schools here because parents aren't doing it. But deeper than that, the whole concept of gratitude is lacking in many children. They take things for granted and feel entitled to everything they get, as though it is owed to them. This displaces gratitude, since the two attitudes aren't compatible. This may be why so many young people are unhappy. They have not learned to appreciate what others do and don't experience gratitude or count their blessings. Instead they only think about what they still want and don't have. When I was in high school, a group of us spent a lot of time together and we often had parties. About half were at my house, and the other half were at Bill's house. Bill was my boyfriend's best friend. Both Bill's parents and mine thought it was good for us to bring our friends home so they would know them. Probably every week we were at Bill's house or mine or both. Long after we were all married, and our parents were old, I thought about Bill's parents again. And I decided to write a letter after all those years since I had seen her just to thank her for the way she and her husband had opened her home to us and always welcomed us. She wrote me back how much it meant to her. When people get older and are looking back at life and wondering if they had made any difference to anyone , the gift of letting them know how much you appreciated something they did can make their day.

Thank you is the words of gratitude for a favor received.It contains a tone of humbleness.By saying welcome we acknowledge the attitude of humbleness as well as invite the other one to provide chances again to do good things. Everyone is happy to do good things as well as receiving good things.Saying "thank you" and return You are welcome" both are expressing there happiness. I think these are great words.

i love hearing this word janevi. the word thank you makes me feel warm. when i give someone a favor and when that person replies thank you to me that would mean a lot! because when i say thank you, i really mean it. i am a nurse and i had training in the hospital. when my patients say thank you too me that would lift my spirit that just mean that they feel well taken cared of and that really means a lot for me.

Saying the magic words implies how you have been brought up. It's a part of mannerism. These proverbs/sayings prove the same. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. What you give out comes back at you like a boomerang. Give respect and take respect. I like your topic of discussion.

Hi Janevi! I usually say thanks for people who do me a favor or in any appropriate time. I say thanks most of the time but don't usually receive a 'you're welcome ' response but some do smile after hearing me saying thanks. On my part, whenever someone say thanks to me, I just respond with a smile, sometimes I do say welcome or no problem, depends on the situation. i think this is really a good habit that each one of us should practice coz it can create a brighter day for us and send some good vibes.

Like all our friends have said it is a sign of good upbringing. Children need to be taught these basic manners like Thank you and Sorry. One should feel for it and say thank you which in turn pleases the person. Every service taken should be acknowledged with a thank you, that shows the personality of a person. I have come across many people who do not have this attitude of gratitude and behave as if we were indebted to do those things for them. I feel very sorry for such people. Happy mylotting.

For me they said an appreciation to the things you done and said it's a good attitude ever.

I don't know about everybody, but thank you and you're welcome are certainly part of mine. Yes, I've noticed that some of the younger people do not bother to express gratitude and appreciation. It will not cost anyone anything to say these magic words and spread blessings around. I am glad that you brought this up. This could serve as a wake up call to some or even to many. Thank you janevi! God bless you always.

It means, you are graceful. You say Thank you because you are pleased with whatever help that was extended to you. I say thank you as it doesnt cost a thing and it shows that you are educated enough to tell the other person how appreciative of the help or gesture. It says a lot about a person's character if such individual can say a word of thanks as not everyone says this.

After the "I love you" I think having grattitude is very important so I like when the one saying really mean it, I think it's beautiful, it's the appreciation for what we've done for someone else.

hi:) I always say thank you whenever someone done something good for me, and I say welcome when someone thank me, I think this words are very important to everyday living, to express my gratitude,it was taught to me by my parents and teachers while I was growing up, and also saying these words can bring happiness to me, I don't know why but I feel happy whenever I said thank you and welcome:D

it is very proud if yu say thank you to someone that help you finish you do

i have to say it is not common to hear 'you're welcome' anymore. my children usually responds in the mother tongue - 'walang anuman' which is equivalent to 'no problem'. i guess in whatever form it is reciprocated, it can be accepted. it is always the act that matters to me.

Sometimes i'm very sad that people abuse this phrase. They just say them without meaning them at all. So sometimes i'd rather hear them with all sincerity than just hear them from someone saying them like they're coming out of the nose and not from the heart. For me how often they are said don't matter much. What matters is how sincere the speaker is in using them.

I always say thank you to everybody who helped me,i think it's kind of polite to other people.And we all need to say this word who in favor of us,of course,nothing is not granted to us,thus,i would like other people know that they appreciate our gratefulness.

I believe every person still keeps the good values to others by saying "thank you" and "you're welcome". Younger genereations still saying the words "thank you" in their mind but never saying it to the person they are grateful because they don't understand it... One of the reason they did not say it because they did not see the practice in the family... Which means they don't used to say it especially when they undergone bad experiences whether in the family matter or the community they had adopt are wrong doings and good values are not exist no more in the community... Meanwhile, when younger generations are taught well in school or in a community and guided by the family, then saying "thank you" means a lot to a person who offered the help to the people needed it most. This means that person are grateful and appreaciated for your kindness to others. And that's why you should say "you're welcome" also to them beause it means that you are helping them with all of your heart.

Hello again, janevi. Thanks for responding to my response. I, actually signed up right that time and you were the first I responded to. I just checked your page and I liked your slogan too! "The fewer needs you have, the happier you become." Let's have a discussion about this too someday, shall we?
