Magic words,There are so many of them.Let’s talk about another magic word in English.

If someone does something for you,it’s considered polite to thank him.A simple "Thank you " or "Thanks" goes a long way(1).In the business world,a word of gratitude from your boss,manager,or even co-worker,means a lot.It means that you care...that you appreciate the person’s work.

I think it’s easy to take the people close to us for granted.It’s easy to think, "I work in the office,and my wife works at home.She SHOULD make me dinner." But after dinner,do you say, "Thanks you"? Sometimes I forget.Sometimes I forget to tell my kids,"Thanks for being so good today."Sometimes I forget to tell the bus driver or the person who collects my toll,(2) "Thank you!Have a nice day."

Thanks

Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a million.(3)

I really appreciate it.

I’m totally grateful for what you’ve done.
