"Sorry", "thank you", "please"

I always use these three words because I feel if we need the help of others then request is good way, if we do the mistake then sorry is good word to solve the problem, and if somebody do anything for us then thank you is great word. Nice discussion and explanation about three words.

I agree with you. 3 words, it is often forgotten. But, I most often say 3 words. Too often, so that makes me underestimated. Because three words, there is also respect me. But, more often they underestimate me, because the third word.

All our problem are that we do not bother with the feeling of others. May some small words, and/or smile have a lot of affects. when we deal with people try to put yourself as same as the opposite side. What you want other to do with you, others want the same. Sorry, thank you and please are a small words, but it has more affects.

we had a lesson in our english book in lower classes which said that please and thank u are simple words that make larger effects on the minds of people. I timproves ur relations with the people and they cost nothinbg so why not use them for good

I agree with you that these 3 words are very powerful.. you get people to forgive you by saying 'sorry'.. but 'sorry' seems to be the hardest word to speak.. for please, I always tell my daughter that please is the 'magic' word to get her way, and thank you, a nice word to show appreciation!

I agree with you, friend, those three words seems so simple but have magic and influence people relationship. Don’t take any other example, each of us must have own experience related this case. I love to help people sincerely, but when they say “thank you” I would be more happy and I wish I can help again and again. Meanwhile, I would be easily disappointed and even regret if I help people who just leave and seems like doesn’t have thanks in a way. Sorry and Please also have own magic and also important too to pronounce when asking help, it’s like a sign that those people polite in asking help and deserve for help

A lot of people forget to say, "Sorry", "Thank you" and "Please" and it is because people aren't really being taught how to be polite anymore. It's rather sad because people should be taught how to be polite.

Hi advokatku. You are partially right in saying that these words are forgotten by many but not everybody.These words are very simple and yet they are often forgotten. What has happened to our world today that even these simple words are not uttered in moments that they should be expressed? Yes they cannot harm anyone, instead they help in establishing a congenial atmosphere in the workplace, in school,in the market, or anywhere we are. These are basic words of courtesy being taught in our homes before the children are taught in school. If these are not heard from the mouth of the elders, how can the babes utter them when it is seems to be foreign to their tongue? It's good that you have brought this topic up. This will serve as a reminder to all.

I always say these things and I have taught both my 8 year old and my 4 year old that they are to say them too. To me its common courtesy to say Sorry, Thank You and Please and it shows respect. Both my children know that if they want a drink or candy or something like that they can ask for it BUT if they don't say please they will NOT get it! It's been hard teaching them that this is part of having manners but they're finally getting it. I can't stand it when I see people help another person and that person never really thanks the person helping! It irritates me! and Really, how hard is it to say sorry.

Indeed, these are a few short words that people forget to say. Maybe it is because of pride, maybe because the lack of education, who knows? For instance, in my small city, people are always so polite. But in bigger cities, or in the capital, for instance, if you go in a shop and say hello, the employer would not answer. Again, after you do your shopping, you say 'thank you' and 'goodbye'. It's like you never said anything. They just won't answer. This is so frustrating!

Hi, Good topic to discuss about. We are so busy with ourselves and could never bother about others. A simple smile would do wonders and a five letter word could even avoid wars...

Hi, GOod topic to discuss about. Now a days we are so confined within ourselves that we never bother to consider other creatures. A smile would do wonders and a five letter word could even avoid wars....

Hi advokatku.. These 3 words or I would call them the 'Golden Words' are now days slowly dying away. Most of the people are either too busy or consider themselves above such niceties. People don realise that when you are fight with someone a small heartfelt sorry will do wonders to ease the tension, when you want to get anything from others a small please will do the trick rather than pressurising and being rude , when you relly enjoy and appreciate what soemone else has done a small thank you can brighten up the other person's life and make him/her feel appreciated. But seldom people do this and we find very few people following this. The only way this can be made a practice is when each one of us take a small pledge to use these golden words. And let me start now by saying "Thank You" for starting such a wonderful decision
