<div>I don't say “Thank You” as often as I should and I doubt I'm the only one. <br></div><div><br></div><div>In fact, I'm starting to believe that “Thank You” is the most 
under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. <br></div><div>It is appropriate
 in nearly any situation and it is a better response than most of the 
things we say.</div><div><br></div><div> Let's cover 5 common situations when we say all sorts of 
things, but should say “Thank You” instead.</div><div><br></div><div><h2>1. Say “Thank You” when you're receiving a compliment.</h2>
We often ruin compliments by devaluing the statement or acting overly
 humble. Internally, you might think this prevents you from appearing 
arrogant or smug.
The problem is that by deflecting the praise of a genuine compliment,
 you don't acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something. 
Simply saying “Thank You” fully acknowledges the person who made the 
compliment and allows you to enjoy the moment as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Example: “You killed your presentation today!”
<ul><li>Instead of: “Did I? I felt so nervous up there. I'm glad it looked alright.”</li><li>Try saying: “Thank you. I'm happy it went well.”</li></ul></div><div><h2>2. Say “Thank You” when you’re running late.</h2>
Being late is the worst. It's stressful for the person who is running late and it's disrespectful to the person who is waiting.
It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your hassle, 
but that's exactly the correct response. Most people stumble in the door
 and say, “Sorry I'm late.”
The problem is this response still makes the situation about you. Sorry, I'm late. Saying “Thank You” turns the tables and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting. Thank you for waiting.</div><div><br></div><div>Example: You walk in the door 14 minutes late.
<ul><li>Instead of: “So sorry I’m late. Traffic was insane out there.”</li><li>Try saying: “Thank you for your patience.”</li></ul></div><div><h2>3. Say “Thank You” when you're receiving helpful feedback.</h2>
Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether 
it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an email from
 an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive. That's a
 shame because the correct response is to simply say, “Thank You” and 
use the information to improve. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Example: “This work isn't good enough. I thought you would do better.”
<ul><li>Instead of: “You don't understand. Here's what really happened.”</li><li>Try saying: “Thank you for expecting more of me.”</li></ul></div><div><h2>4. Say “Thank You” when you're receiving unfair criticism.</h2>
Sometimes criticism isn't helpful at all. It's just vindictive and mean. When you thank someone for criticizing you, it immediately 
neutralizes the power of their statements. If it’s not a big deal to 
you, then it can’t grow into a larger argument.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
Example: “This might be good advice for beginners, but anyone who knows what they are doing will find this useless.”
<ul><li>Instead of: “Well, clearly, I wrote this for beginners. This might be a surprise, but not everything was written with you in mind.”</li><li>Try saying: “Thank you for sharing your opinion. I’ll try to improve next time.”</li></ul></div><div><h2>5. Say “Thank You” when you're not sure if you should thank someone.</h2>
When in doubt, just say thank you. There is no downside. Are you 
honestly worried about showing too much gratitude to the people in your 
life?
<br></div><div><br></div><div>“Should I send a Thank You card in this situation?” Yes, you should.
<br></div><div><br></div><div>“Should I tip him?” If you don't, at least say thank you.
<span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Say thank you, more often.</span></div><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
