It
is a simple gesture…
It doesn’t cost you anything…
Yet gives you a very grateful
feeling…
I
have done it for some time since I realised the importance of giving thanks to
every single thing…
Be it a plate of food,
Or a small action that case up
a smile even when being hurt…
If
I were to tell you where I learn it from…
Some of you may laugh…
But honestly speaking,
It teaches you a great deal
of life…
I learn it from the Japanese…
Have
you ever noticed how polite the Japanese are?
Despite
tragedies that swept their country off, they can still display impeccable
manners
Do
you think you can tolerant the exact kind of pain like theirs and maintain such
flawless in character?
Some
of us might become worse after a certain tragedy…
Although some will be better…
Depending on the situations…
From there I learnt that…
No matter what happen…
We must continue to be
grateful…
If we learn to say thank you
regardless to circumstances…
It does show others our we
appreciation towards them…
Even if we don’t agree to it…
Remember,
Some people might need to
reverse themselves so that we can receive what we wanted…
Other times,
We need to give people a
chance to get have what they want…
But either way,
We need to recognise that we
are not just doing good for ourselves…
We are also doing good to
others as well…
It makes me wonder why the
Japanese loves to bow down and say thank you to the same thing several times?
It
turns out that they are counting their blessing and being extremely grateful
for what you have done for them…
It
is not wrong to be thankful…
Even when someone hurt you…
Because when they hurt you,
You will understand how it
likes to be hurt…
Then from thereon, you will
understand what pain is like…
And hopefully avoid hurting
others the way you have been hurt…
Sometimes,
I feel sad that people hurt
me…
I don’t know what the reason
is
I also don’t feel like asking
even when I wanted to…
But I learn that no matter
what their answer will be…
I will train myself to
forgive them...
Forgiveness is easy said than done...
but it is much better than to
remain angry and go nowhere...
“Thank you for hurting me…
Now I know how it
likes to be hurt…
That kind of hurt is
very painful…
And because it is so
painful…
It gives me a
privilege to experience it and try my very best not to hurt others…”
But I also understand that as human,
We also feel like lashing out
at others when things goes wrong…
It’s very normal as we are
not perfect….
Then we should find an
appropriate place to calm down…
And then apologise for being
so out-of-control....
Relationship will improve
when we are kind enough to apologised, forgive and be thankful...
Give
thanks…
It can be done at anytime and
anywhere…
It doesn’t cost you a single
pence…
Just your action itself can
speak volume…
It doesn’t matter how big or
small the situation is…
Just say thank you will give
others a sense of appreciation…
Just these two words – “Thank you!” helps
a lot…
Just one bow gives people a
sense of gratitude…
Combine them together; you
will automatically create a smile on the giver’s face…
So be thankful…
You have gotten what you want
during your time…
So it’s time for you to give
back a little bit of your gratitude to others…
From there you will
eventually build a better relationship with them…
“Thank you!”
