"Thank you" and "I'm sorry" are the two most powerful phrases in the English language (and their equivalents in other languages as well). They demonstrate gratitude and humility. Is it so hard to offer a little gratitude even for the small things? Even when someone tries to offer help but isn't able to be as helpful as they had hoped? A little "thank you" goes a long way. "I'm sorry" goes even further - two little phrases that can seriously begin to change the world.
Have you said "thank you" today? Is there someone you should have said "thank you" to, but didn't? Try saying "I'm sorry" the next time you see them and apologize for not thanking them at that time, and then thank them - notice the change that comes over them even if they politely turn it away with a, "Don't mention it," or, "It was no big deal."
Powerful words indeed.
