I actually can't stand it when I go to dinner with friends and they don't thank the server when they bring them their food.

They don't thank the server after they order the food.

I'm always cautious of that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can I get a glass of water?

Thank you.

It's such a sign of a good person, a solid person.

And these things shouldn't have to be said.

Yet in a world today where manners and decorum and gratitude and grace and patience and kindness is out the window, people who say thank you stand out.

And even if you didn't stand out,

It's good for you to say thank you.

All the great things in your life come from saying thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

You will find more things to be thankful for by simply saying it all the time.

I'll bet that one of the top 10 things I say is thank you.

And writing thank you notes to people has a deep impact on their lives.

Trust me, I get them on a daily basis from people around the world and I read them and it fills my soul with desire to continue to go on.

And it overrides the negatives in life.

Number 14, ironically, say no more.
