Thank You these are two simple words yet can be one of the most powerful words given in many ways.

Thank you for helping me out

Here you are given thanks that become a two-way street. One is thanking you for helping that person or group.

The other is the one receiving the thank you for taking time to help one out. In return, it can make the helper feel not only good about themselves but also gratifying knowing they have helped someone in need of an answer or solution to a problem.

Thank you for all the support you have given me

Here you are thanking that person or group for the continued support along someone's journey in life. Regardless of what that journey is.

Thank you when said in a prayer (regardless of your religious belief)

Here you are thanking a higher presence for what you have been given or an opportunity to learn even if is a mistake that created a problem(s) or one you have struggled with but now realises this to be a lesson to learn from and go forward.

So you say thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes and proceed to go forward in a most positive direction.

Thank you as you can see has many benefits just two words yet there are some who can't even do that.

There are many more that using the word thank you can be made but these are just some examples.

As we are here in WA these simple but powerful two words I have seen many times particulary in Live Chat the most but also with blogs and training we have or created are not used enough.

Think about it

How many times have you asked a question but didn't bother to say or even acknowledge a reply or sulution from someone?

How many of you have given a reply, answer, the solution to someone's question but they don't bother to even give a simple thank you if nothing else.

This I have seen becoming a more common issue with some particulary in Live chat but also on posts and training.

Common Courtesy

Just a simply common courtesy like a post, like a training say thank you in Live Chat

You don't know how much a simple reply as Thank You can give to someone but especially if they are new here and give an answer in response to a question and someone says thank you.

There may be nervous enough with their answer but are trying to help out where they can.

I am sure that person will feel happy that they have helped in some way.

Even if their answer didn't help you out too much or perhaps just didn't have all the solutions you were seeking.

It doesn't mean to say back that this didn't help me at all but word it around back to a simple "Thank you for that appreciated it I may need to look into it more"

Doesn't that sound better than saying that was no help at all or just simply ignoring them without a thank you?

That simple Thank You for your help and time can mean a world of difference to someone else.

It may mean to them that they have helped and indeed give them more confidence to continue to want to help down the track.

It could give them a sense of false confidence where they don't want to help because they feel their response was not appreciated and may be reluctant to help anyone again regardless that they many want to but their confidence is low.

Not a Law

Sure you don't have to say thank you there are no laws in WA instisting you say Thank you however it can be made in other ways as mention above or in this way as well.

For example:

Members taking their precious time to create training or a blog post for others

Liking their posts, Training is another way to say thank you.

I am sure if you did training or post for example you would like to see the like word ticked even if you don't want or can't think of something to say in a reply.

In fact, did you know that you can do both?

You can say something such as

Thank you for the post I apprecitate it.

Thank you I have saved this for later.

Thank you I have learned something new or something I didn't know or something I wasn't sure about so thank you for that.

Although as I said there are no rules but the rule of common courtesy would say thank you meaning thank you for your time and effort that you gave me whether I needed it now or not for perhaps one day you will need that advise and come back to it later when you will appreciate that you had that solution given before.
