"Thank you" is one of the simplest phrases in this world. So simple, that people often forget to say it. It only takes one extra breath to say these words, and they mean a lot more than they look. Don't forget to say thank you to anyone, but especially these ten people ...
1. Your parents
This one is a given. Our parents brought us into this world and made you who you are. They would do anything for you and unconditionally give you love. Say thank you for everything your parents have provided you and given you since you came into this world. Say thanks for teaching me everything I know. The saying goes "we are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old."
2. Your favorite high school teacher
A lot of people have at least one teacher in high school that they know they can go to for anything. Whether it's about your school work or your personal life, they have taken the time to listen to you and help you grow. The definition of a school teacher is to teach a subject by the books, but a lot of them go above and beyond this. They allowed you to build a relationship and even though it may only really last for a few years, it was much needed during that time. Mr. Biagi, this one's for you.
3. Your siblings
Sometimes we forget to say thank you to our siblings because we overlook a lot of the simple things they have done. Older siblings, thank you for being the guinea pigs with our parents. Younger siblings, thank you for keeping me young. Thanks for all of the times you tried to help me by talking to mom and dad. Thanks for always being there for me no matter what. Thank you for being my first friend.
4. Your friends
A friend is in your life because they care for you and they are always there for you. Since everyone knows that this is what a friend is, people feel like they don't need to thank them and it's automatic ... but hearing a verbal "thank you" means so much more. Your friends become your family and know you better than anyone else, which is why you need to thank them for being in your life.
5. Your housemates
Thank you for picking up after me when I forget to clean up. Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick like my mom. Thank you for putting up with me 24/7. Thank you for teaching me how to cook. Thank you for not getting sick of me. The list goes on ...
6. The bus driver
The bus driver probably does not want to deal with all of your distractions while driving you somewhere that you need to be. Don't forget to say thanks when you step off the bus.
7. Your waiter/waitress
They are there to make you happy and make sure that everything is perfect for you. Say thank you because they don't get it enough.
8. The person who holds the door open for you
Even though it was only a few seconds, they took time out of their day to make your life easier.
9. People who say "Bless You"
They are literally saying "bless you." Like how much more of a compliment can you get?! Don't sneeze and then dead them!
10. The delivery service
They are taking the time to drive something right to your doorstep, just because you don't want to get off the couch. Yes they are probably getting tips, but that still doesn't mean they want to struggle to find your house and carry something that isn't theirs to your door for your convenience.
