Caring for words ... THANKS,PLEASE.
I met a person in US, after talking with him for few minutes,I came to know that this person's most commonly used word is THANKS. After meeting this person I thought for a moment, does this person really mean the word or not ? Afterwards, I met many people who uses same Word frequently. Let me give you an example, A guy asked me whether I have seen Rajesh or not. I said NO within no time. He said Thanks in return and left. That THANKS is just for my answer NO. I personally feel the favour that I did (Answering NO) doesn't deserve a word like THANKS.You might think what's the big deal to care for the word THANKS. I will let you know , how will it really matter.
From my childhood if I say any word, I completely mean it. I never used to use any word just like that. Believe me, till now I had used these words very rarely. To be specific, I never misused these words. I sometime feel if you say Thanks for such a small favour,then what do you say for the help like saving your dear-one's life, may be your own life. I agree that a word really doesn't equal in return to the help of saving life. But, how sad to mention the same thing in the situations like I mentioned. All I want to say is, we are losing the importance of a word by misusing it. You might think for alternatives like THANKS a lot/ton, but the source of the sentence is still Thanks. Just think about it.
Let's check the word, PLEASE. This word is also not exceptional in this case. The frequency of usage for this word is also same as THANKS. I don't want to stress much on this. I just want to tell you one of the real case and conclude. Once I was asking for some help from my friend. He was not willing to help. After so much of trying to convince him, with a smile I said "I rarely use the word PLEASE, I tried not to use the word till now, cannot help it seems. PLEASE do this" :). All of sudden he agreed :). I haven't expected this at all. I am sure that if I had used PLEASE in the starting of our converse casually, the meaning of word would have lost. I mean, he would not have consider the word at all, as he might have heard the word quite often. Really, WORD POWER MADE EASY my life :)
So, feel the WORD and always mean it.
