Etiquette Tip of the Week: A Grateful Alternative....
There are a plethora of articles out there advising us to write down things we are
grateful for every day.
Here is an alternative: as long as we are going to be writing something down, we should
write thank you notes to people we are grateful to. Keep a box of fold-over notes on
your desk. Don't overthink it. Just knock it out and mail it.
You could simply text it, Tweet it or email it. But the sentiment on a fold-over note
lingers longer.
As it turns out, doing for others, does something for you.
The Etiquette Tip of the Week may be forwarded to others who
really, really need it, pinned to billboards, taped to the water
cooler, blogged, Twittered or used to fill that last little hole in
your newsletter. Giving credit to the Culture and Manners
Institute at http://www.cultureandmanners.com/ is the polite
thing to do.
The Culture and Manners Institute is all about
respect. Therefore, your email address will not be sold, traded
or gifted to other parties, as that would not be a polite thing to
do.
