Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others.
Let me start with the idea of giving generously._For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a "thank you". Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are. But when we give, we shouldn't be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise. Rather, we should be giving because it is a good thing.
The good news is that when we lead our life being nice to others, our life runs more smoothly.But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve.
At the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cant say "thank you" enough when you receive.
Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Do you think it unnecessary to thank them when receiving just because a task is part of someone's job description？ That's wrong！
It is good for us to say "thank you" because we regularly need to remind ourselves how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days.
If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.
A. So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. B. Thus, saying "thank you" can bring us good luck. C. If you are generous, some people will use you. D. In return, we are to help others by giving them our time or money. E. I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used. F. Yet, why do we have such difficulty achieving these things in our relationships？ G. Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. |
