How rare it is today to hear a well-placed “Please” or “Thank You”. Peter Drucker, Management Expert and God-Father of some of our foundational management principles that still endure today, says “Manners are the lubricating oil of an organization,”
He goes on to say: “Please” means ‘I respect you,’ and ‘Thank You’ means ‘I appreciate you.’”
Robin Sharma, successful author and business expert says, “To grow your relationships and lead the field, manage your manners so people see that you strongly value them.” Robin Sharma

My wife needs to hear “Please” and “Thank You.” So do your kids, your parents, you boss, your neighbor – Everyone should be extended this courtesy.
The point is this: Say the words, express the thought. Show good manners and lubricate your human interactions in all of life.

I love what you said about valuing another. People cry out to be acknowledged as valuable. When we affirm another we raise their vision of themselves by lifting their eyes to greater possibilities. Reward works for both receiver and giver - what a win, win!
