Five Magic words that add to Humanity
There are five (5) Magic Words we need to be familiar with. Magic means a secret power that makes impossible things happen. Using them everyday portrays us as well behaved children and can help us get difficult tasks done – (Please, Excuse Me, Sorry, Thank You and Pardon me). If you know how to use them right, it brings solutions to almost all the little problems we have in our day-to-day activities. And will also make us understand why some people refuse to offer help just because one of these Magical Words was not put in use.
Thank You - Everybody loves to be appreciated; thank you shows appreciation or gratitude for something good somebody has done for us. It makes the person want to do more.
Please – We should start every request with please. It shows you recognize that the other person has the right to accept or not. You are only appealing to his/her generosity.
Excuse me – This can be used to politely get someone’s attention; you may not know the person. It is likewise use to politely ask someone to move when they are in your way or when you want to interrupt a conversation.
Sorry – Very many people don’t know how to apologize to family members and friends most especially when they are the in charge (Boss). We feel they (Subordinate) should be the one to do it even when they dint do any wrong. That inability to acknowledge our mistakes has bred needless ill will. We should not allow over familiarity to over shadow courtesy.
Pardon Me – This can be used when asking somebody to repeat something because you did not hear it or do not understand it. We also use it when we are about to disagree with an opinion.
