Two Magic Words to Greatness!
There is no shortcut to success is hard to swallow. We may
accept this theory, but we still look for shortcuts to succeed in life.
I'm not suggesting shortcuts here, but some approaches in life can
yield results in the short run as well as long run.
Thanks and Sorry are two words that we need to use whenever necessary. How often do we refuse, ignore or casually take for granted that thanking and apologizing are mere formalities?
Thank from your heart. Apologize from deep within. And look at the results that follow!
Thanking is not a skill. We need to develop that as a habit. But never use this habit merely as a habit. Thank people around when they deserve a thanks from you. Gratitude is a virtue. We need to experience from deep within that our existence on planet earth and our journey in life is all about interdependence and we owe everybody around us. Appreciating others will ony help us appreciate ourselves.
Apologizing is also not a skill but a virtue we need to imbibe. Humility is a key ingredient of goodness and eventually greatness. There is nothing wrong in admitting our faults when we are wrong. And there is nothing wrong in apologizing to others when our wrongs have interfered with their self respect.
We don't hurt bodies. We only hurt egos.
Two magic words can heal egos: Thanks and Sorry!
