#Magical words 1998 free#
Sometimes a friend is better on a subject in which we are lagging behind and we want him to explain it to us during a free period. We may need to borrow a book which we forgot to keep in our bag or require something as trivial as a pencil, eraser or a sharpener which we have misplaced. Often in school, we need help from a friend or classmate. This rule also applies to all the other relations we are in, for example, our siblings, teachers, peers, and relatives. It shows them that we really do care about the way they work to help us. When we say Thank you, it shows appreciation, respect, and love. When we say Please, it shows respect and consideration for our parent’s thoughts and feelings. Instead of starting a sentence with I want, I always feel much better if someone says Please and Thank you as I respond to their need”. Magic words could make all the difference. Our attitude when we want something can either make them happy or frustrate them! We must understand that there is a very thin line between a demand and a request.
At times, however unintentionally, we fail to thank them for their efforts. They try hard to keep us happy, comfortable and content, but they also expect a polite and grateful attitude from us in return.
Our parents are always out there to help us get the things we need. Which of the above two possibilities would make your mother feel more appreciated and happy? We know that it is out of love that our parents try to fulfill our needs, whether they are small or big. Please, can I have a snack? After finishing what your mother has served you, you take your plate to the kitchen sink (or better still, wash it), walk up to your mother and with a hug saying, Thank you, mom, the sandwich was delicious. Then you say politely, I am sorry to disturb you mom, but I am feeling hungry. You walk into the kitchen and quietly watch mom as she seems busy. Now, look at the same situation with a better approach.
You eat your snack in front of the television and say, I am going to do my homework and head to your room, leaving behind your empty plate and glass on the coffee table. What would happen if you come home from school and look at your mom and say I’m hungry, give me a sandwich? Your Mom might give you a tired look, but still, she fixes a sandwich for you and serves it to you with a glass of milk.
