I strongly believe it is impossible for someone to have everything he/she needs. Well, that will also boil down to the person’s needs. So, let me break the statement down top a less general and more direct one. I don’t believe you can have everything you need, when you need it and how you need it. Take note of the statement. I have included “when” and “how”. Because you don’t have everything you need, be it physically or not, there will also be some people willing to lend a helping hand.

When I talk of “helping hand”, I am referring to goods and services, be they free or paid. Is there really a free good or service? Is there a free ride or meal? I don’t think so. But I do know there is one simple and cheap way of paying for the so-called free services or goods. This simple and cheap payment method can also be applied for paid services, to act as some sort of additional payment to let the ones at our service know we appreciate them or what they have done.

“Thanks” may be a very simple word but means a lot when said. We use it to show some sort of appreciation for a good act; at times we even say thanks before we are offered something. Even when we don’t need what is being offered to us, saying “thanks” will let the giver know that although his favor or participation is need, he willingness to help is appreciated. Not saying “thanks” when we really suppose to can be a bit detrimental to the people around us. It hurts someone when he expects you to say “thanks” and you don’t. The thought of not being appreciated can drive some people into disappointment.

I think we should always develop the habit of saying thanks when helped or offered to be helped. I don’t think one loses anything by saying a simple word as “thanks”. On the other hand, we should not expect it very much from others. They say “one good turn deserves another, but we should not always expect others to say “thanks” when we make a good turn.

Have you ever frowned at someone for not saying “Thanks”?
