Laugh it Up, We all Should
Why don’t we laugh more often? Mainly because we have learned not to. Parents and teachers spend a good deal of time telling children, “ Wipe that smile off your face”; “Get serious”; “Settle down”; and “Stop acting silly.” In addition, laughter requires both spontaneity and surrender of control. As people become adults, they place a good deal of value on self-control and often feel ambivalent about spontaneity. But a mature adult should also understand the need for levity now and then.
The Value of a Written Thank You
Sending a thank you card is a great way to build and maintain a business or personal relationship. It can be simple and to the point, yet still pack a punch with the receiver in demonstrating that you are a sharing and
caring person. In our impersonal world, the simple act of saying "thank you" is very powerful.
When is a Thank You card appropriate to send? Certainly after any business meeting where you have been introduced to ore met someone for the first time is very appropriate. If someone has gone out of there way to give you a "random act of kindness" this certainly warrants a Thank You card as well.
More importantly, there are many people in our lives that we take for granted that never hear the word "thank you" from anyone. Who do you come in contact with that deserves a heartfelt "thank you". Could it be a teacher, family member who lives far away, a retired coach, a bank teller, or hairdresser?
