Chinese Gratitude And Gratitude

In conclusion everyday we feel gratitude for something sometimes not even knowing it and it is a big thing in our lives that affects us a lot. People getting something for you, your parents buy you something that you want or just something happens that is just makes you happy and it makes you feel

Les personnes à qui j’ai donné des commentaires de gratitude étaient surprise au début mais au courant de la semaine, ils réagissaient de façon très positive. Ainsi, quelques-uns ont pris le temps de me faire part de leur pensée par rapport à ma nouvelle attitude. Ceux qui m’ont donné du feed-back, me percevaient beaucoup plus ouverte et engagé à la réussite de l’équipe. De ce fait, selon les personnes concernées mon « verbal » et mon « non-verbal » étaient congruents.

The golden rule the majority know is, just say “please” and “thank you”. Manners and polite behavior have been ingrained in our childhood and are qualities that are expected of us. Many think that it is important to be kind, polite, and well-mannered in all situations, however, this is not a standard that needs to be strictly followed. To begin, this topic is shown in The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck.

I work at a liquor store called State Line Liquors in Elkton. I pack up customers’ liquor and then take it out to their car. I carefully carry their stuff out only for them to look at the ground mutter “thank you” and retreat to their cars. It can get really frustrating when this happens because people always seem to expect us to do it. They do not understand what a service is. People always say that waiters and waitresses have it rough because most of their wages come from tips, but Americans have ingrained into their mind that the waiter must always be tipped. This is only one of the many jobs inside of the service industry. I believe in always tipping the service guy.

Steaks and Thanks Therapist and life coach, Doctor Laura Trice, in her 2008 TED Talk, “Remember To Say Thank You,” addresses the importance of “praise, admiration and thank you.” Trice’s purpose is to convey the idea of why individuals feel insecure to ask for praise and how necessary praise is. She adopts a light-hearted tone through personal narratives, anecdotes, switching between first and second point of view, and repetition in order to present her ideas and view of “praise” and “admiration” to her educated audience. Trice begins her presentation on the importance of gratitude by straightforwardly presenting the subject of her speech. She appeals to her audience through a personal narrative based off of her childhood experience.

There is a time in every person’s life where a certain other person gives them words of strong encouragement. There is also a time in every person’s life where they distribute words of kindness to others as well.

I am thankful for this assignment not only because it helped me grow as an individual, but helped me grow closer to my stepmother by learning about her culture and heritage. I think it meant a lot to her that I chose to do this paper on her culture. When we left, she hugged me and she thanked me as we walked to the car. I hugged her and thanked her back for allowing me the

In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge give the Cratchits a prize winning turkey without the cratchits knowing, once the turkey arrived the Cratchits were so grateful for the turkey. In “Thank You Ma'am” the kindness is in the story when the lady gives the Roger 10 dollars after he tried to take her pocketbook, that is kindness because she did not have to do it but she did. My personal experience with kindness is when I let my brother have 20 dollars for a shirt he wanted, I did not have to give him the money but I did

“Hey, you cannot greet me. I am a potential customer. Without me, you cannot bring foods on your table”

At almost all sit-down restaurants in the United States, tipping is the well-known practice learned at an early age by young Americans. However, recently a bit of controversy over the subject has arisen. For some reasons, many people that enjoy the environment and service at sit down restaurants want to abolish the custom of leaving a tip for the individuals whom provide the experience, servers. As a server, I completely disagree and can adequately counter argue their “reasoning” for abolishing the tradition. As a result, tipping a server for their service naturally makes for a satisfied customer, a successful restaurant business, and a happy server.

Tipping your waiter almost feels like something that has just always been around in your dining experience inside America. You go with family and friends to your favorite restaurant, your waiter greets you, you order your meal, enjoy it, pay, and leave a tip. However, tipping is an Europe custom we borrowed. Weirdly enough, tipping use to be viewed as rude and disrespectful, much unlike today where it is viewed as disrespectful not to leave a tip. According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” Lynn suggests that wealthy Americans traveling abroad to Europe witnessed tipping and brought the aristocratic custom back with them to “show off,” or prove their elevated education and class. When you go dine in at your favorite restaurant and finish your delicious meal, how much do you tip? 10%? 20%? Nothing at all? Do you know how much to tip, or even why you should leave a tip? Tipping waiters is not a bonus; it is part of their salary. When you tip, you are helping waiters to achieve minimum wage. Consumers must pay for these costs one way or another. Tipping in America should be required.

Author and educator Henry Van Dyke once said "Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse."Van Dye was correct. Thanksgiving is a phenomenon.Amidst the threats of war and terrorism,pain and suffering due to poverty and the on going mental health and depression crisis that the world has been faced with recently,we as humans still find a way to move on.To keep our heads up and embrace the good parts of our life.Thanksgiving. A holiday where people come together with there families to enjoy themselves and talk about the things they're thankful for. As I look back on my life I see with ease that these three components of my life have

People will bump you without saying excuse me. You can hold the door for someone and they will look at you without saying thank you. I know there are some people that do not say thank you just because people are not saying thank you to them. That is not a reason to be rude to others just because someone was rude to you. 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

Thank you for the Thanksgiving dinner last night! That was a really great dinner. I enjoyed it a lot. Sorry for interrupting your conversation to go home early last night. I usually go to bed around 11 pm and wake up at 6:30, so 10 pm was a bit late for me. That was fun to learn how Chinese think about their government. I have some friends (and my first roommate) from there. A few of them are just like Pengcheng, knowing almost nothing about how the government works (especially those not coming from the coastline cities). But my friends from larger cities, like Wuhan or Beijing, prefer democracy better. They never use reasons like "China is too big to have democracy" to rebut the idea, and they often times complain about human rights in China

Showing gratitude towards others is a great way to express good character. Being thankful and showing appreciation for those in our lives helps us strengthen our character and show others the good in ourselves. Being grateful is also a way of being humble and allowing others to see that we don’t think we are better than them. Gratitude can sometimes be hard to find, but there are many ways to show how grateful we are. Thank you cards, gift baskets, personal thank you’s, gifts, and small acts of kindness are great ways to show the people in our lives that we
