Recognition Is A Reward Fit For A King

'Thank You'

Its a recognition of the deed you have done. Some people take it for granted and feel like it is not enough, no, they want more ... money and power. I would have to say recognition is a reward fit for a king.

Sure you do not gain money or power from a 'thank you' but you should have a little respect and gratitude, accept it as good faith and move on. Recognition is more powerful then most people realise. Some think its just a word, while others have a sense of accomplishment toward a unselfish deed.

To many people are forgetting the purpose of recognition, its not always about money, nor' is it always about power. Recognition is something you receive from an honest person in the world who struggled with something you were able to help with.

Genuine people who would go out of their own way to help someone in need should expect nothing more yet nothing less than a thank you. Just remember that a thank you is a reward for unselfishness, its recognition that you have done something good.

Cherish the words, they may not come often in this world.

'thank you's' can actually go a long way, but then theres always other times where people just dont acknowledge someone's gratitude because the word appears to be thrown around by everyone.

Nice return post James! I think the words thank-you like many other senisble words are TOO commonised.

Its almost similar to 'how are you?' that has many implications rather than the obvious.

" Genuine people who would go out of their own way to help someone in need should expect nothing more yet nothing less than a thank you. "

I liked this section the most, i think its a rarity now to overhear someone saying a 'genuine' thank you

if 'thank you' was appreciated more, it wouldn't be so commonized and meaningless.
