It is as you say EGO, - the very root of all our human ailments. <br />I can go on here, but it is a valuable thing to be aware of and to remember to take the time to acknowledge others, it is a sign of strength of (inner) character. We are all busy it seems -- but least we forget and put it off , we may not get a second chance.<br /><br />As always thought provoking ,,, you inspire, and push us to ponder and think about our small ingrained too sadly long standing habits.<br /><br />warm hugs,<br />joannyjoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338150531816845279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-15502421965734145902011-01-21T12:23:58.782+05:302011-01-21T12:23:58.782+05:30John:

For some reason, my sister and I were brought up with learning to thank everyone...auto rickshaw drivers, shopkeepers etc...as modelled by our parents. And I remember friends telling me at school that I didn't have to thank the autorickshaw driver because he was doing his job!! In the west (and Aus) people do thank others for small things. A couple of yrs ago when I went back to India, I remember at a coffee shop with a friend I thanked the waiter for the coffee and then the bill and he was so grateful...when we left he kept saying "Thank you madam, thank you madam" just to me and not my friend...it was a bit embarrassing but I also realised just how few people actually thank them!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-14992185910381043842011-01-19T14:49:31.955+05:302011-01-19T14:49:31.955+05:30Oh yes, I acknowledge people constantly.
