How To Bring Back The Impact Of Your "Thank You"s And "Sorry"s

How To Bring Back The Impact Of Your "Thank You"s And "Sorry"s

In today's era, people are taught from birth to say "thank you" and "sorry" wherever necessary, which now-a-days is multiple times a day.

But these expressions, and there frequent use is very necessary in today's world, no doubt. (Unless you want to look ungrateful or rude)

So to have a real impact on people with your "thank you"s and "sorry"s, I recommend adopting the following strategy:-

Prepare around 2-3 different forms of "sorry"s and "thank you"s.

For example, when you bump into someone

Use these as your day-to-day needs.

The others being for expressing true gratefulness/apologies.

For example- apologizing for a huge blunder.

Use these VERY rarely, only when you truly mean it,
