International Day of "thank you. International Thank You Day January 11 Thanks Day

01.07.2020

Politeness has been valued at all times, and every person is well aware of the importance of good manners and their need in everyday life, although we express most of our thanks without thinking about their meaning, as if by chance.

Words of gratitude have magical power, as people with their help convey positive emotions, joy, their attention to each other. Therefore, psychologists recommend as often as possible to pronounce expressions of gratitude from the bottom of your heart with a smile on your lips.

History and traditions

World Thank You Day, which is designed to remind the inhabitants of the planet of the value of good manners, courtesy, the ability to thank others for good deeds, was established at the initiative of UNESCO and the UN.

For the first time, the expression "thank you" was recorded in a phrasebook published in Paris in 1586.

The Russian analogue of the way of expressing gratitude appeared at about the same time - the word "thank you", a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save", which was expressed in Russia thanks.

This suggests that, like the Russian "thank you", and "thank you", pronounced in almost all languages of the world, have been and are extremely important for the culture of any people.

The most "grateful" day of the year is celebrated by many on a grand scale and with great pleasure. In many cities, fairs, educational events, competitions and many other recreational activities are held on World Thank You Day.

In educational institutions they talk about the importance of gratitude - activists talk about cultural traditions, ethics, good manners. Young people hold street actions dedicated to the holiday, in which many are ready to take part.

On World Thank You Day, charity events are held to raise funds for those in need. On this day, people say warm words to each other, exchange cards with the inscription: "Thank you!", that is, in general, they try to be extremely polite and express gratitude.

magical properties

The word "thank you", according to psychologists, has magical properties, it can calm and warm with its warmth. The word "thank you" is a kind of verbal "stroking", so necessary both in childhood and in adulthood. That is why politeness should be taught from childhood.

Expressing gratitude, according to experts, improves the health of everyone - both the one to whom they are addressed and the one who pronounces them. But it should be remembered that true gratitude, which can be beneficial, is only that which comes from a pure heart, hence the expression - "thank you."

In particular, words of gratitude, especially "thank you", have a positive effect on the emotional state and mental activity of a person. The expression "thank you" is easy to apply in life, it is very simple and sincere and is a guide to establishing warm friendly relations.

The famous American psychologist Virginia Satir wrote that people need four hugs a day for survival, eight hugs a day for support, and twelve hugs a day for growth.

So say the magic word "thank you" more often and give people a particle of your spiritual warmth, and it will definitely return to you like a "boomerang".

When saying "thank you", you need to look the person in the eye, since gratitude should not be conditional.

It is impossible to thank people in a state of irritation, since gratitude will not achieve its goal and will not bring joy to anyone.

The Old Believers do not use the word "thank you", avoiding it in their speech, as they believe that the word was born from the phrase "save Bai". Bai is the name of one of the pagan gods.

Of the major cities in the world, New York is considered the most polite - "thank you" is most often pronounced here. In the courtesy rating, Moscow ranked 30th among 42 major cities.

Words of gratitude are rarely heard in Mumbai, the most populated city in India.

Remember that words of gratitude have magical properties - people with their help give joy to each other, express attention and convey positive emotions, something without which our life would become gloomy and meager.

Therefore, do not skimp on kind and warm words, thank on this day everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate.

Saying "thank you", you thank Destiny itself, God, penetrating with light and warmth not only the one to whom the words are addressed, but also your own aura.

The word "thank you", according to its etymology, carries a sign of birth, a symbol of good luck, a connection between earth and sky, as well as male and female essence. And the word, uttered with sincere intonation, will activate the meaning inherent in it, and will give an abyss of positive and good.

Every year, along with World Thank You Day, we celebrate World Gratitude Day on September 21st.

Gratitude is a debt to pay
but which no one has the right to expect.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

January 11 is the most "polite" date of the year. This day marks World Thank You Day.

Let it come from the soul
Constantly, hourly
She's like breathing air.
World Thank You Day
I especially want
Congratulate you politely
And pat on the back.
Well, if you let me
I can kiss
And of course very strong.
Hug you from the bottom of my heart.
And I hope you thank you
Important for all people
Don't forget to tell me
You don't get cold to me

Everyone knows from childhood that "thanks" - the word "magic". Along with the words " please", "give" and "mom" we pronounce it first and continue to pronounce it throughout our lives. The word "thank you" is a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save" - this phrase in Russia expressed gratitude. First time word "thanks" recorded in 1586, in a phrase book published in Paris. We are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if casually, without thinking about their meaning. In the meantime, thank you "thanks" and even "please" have magical properties, but they cannot be pronounced when a person is irritated. Some may say, "Well, thank you!" and so on, but no! This is not allowed, this is not an etiquette rule! Psychologists believe that words of gratitude are signs of attention, they are oral “strokes” and are able to warm with their warmth.

When we hear "thank you"
It's like distant hills
Smiles give the whole neighborhood,
Barrier setting winter blizzard.

Thank you, dziakuju, dziekuje, thank you, danke, merci, toda, dank, grazie, arigato, xie xie, obrigado (a), gracias, tack, tesekkür ederim, ... - no matter how this word of gratitude sounds in different languages of the world, but, said sincerely, it will certainly endow the addressee with a single, understandable feeling of joy.

All of us today so lack these real feelings of gratitude and joy, so it is not surprising that in many countries of the world a World Thank You Day has appeared. It may be called differently in different countries. For example, in the USA this holiday is called "National Thank You Day" some even devote the whole month of January to this holiday - National Thank You Month.

We are the magic word
We meet many times in life.
It is ready to help us
And it just sounds, without embellishment.
We celebrate the day of the word "Thank you"
Congratulations, as always.
Good luck and patience
We all carry through the years.

The tradition of this holiday, in general, is one, but very deep in emotions and feelings. This day will become festive for you if you do not forget to say the magic " thanks" to each. It is customary to exchange cute cards with the inscription "Thank you!" In which you can write what you are grateful for. And do not think that someone did not deserve this gratitude.

There is a fairly proven opinion that every person who appears in our lives either comes to give us something (more than material), or teach us something (sometimes not in a very positive situation and not always understood by us instantly). In some countries, there is even a tradition of thanking each other not only in personal life, but also in business. For example, in various ways (postcards, bonus services and programs, pleasant souvenirs), companies thank their customers and partners.

We talk to each other every day "thanks" Therefore, it is very important to remember that true gratitude is only that which comes only from a pure heart! Today thank everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: "thank you" is a firefly word, so warm the people close to you today!

Thank you, life, for the fact that I live!
For my days, wonderful moments!
For rain, for snow, for green grass...
For silence, for cheerful birds singing.
Thank you, life, for joy and sorrow.
For teaching me to forgive.
Thank you for being strict sometimes.
I've learned a lot from my mistakes.
Thank you life for a thousand minutes
Happy! I found them in everything.
For the clouds that float across the sky ...
For the joy that you brought me!
Thank you life, what a lot to start
I have to know and learn.
Because there is more to dream about!
For something to strive for
BUT second unknown

"Thank you" is a word expressing sincere gratitude. Despite the fact that in each country it is pronounced differently, its essence does not change, and the addressee always remains satisfied, because his action was encouraged by a kind word.

Holiday traditions

The modern world lives such a fast-paced life that we sometimes do not notice simple things and less and less experience truly sincere, bright feelings. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a holiday as International Thank You Day has appeared. In all countries it is celebrated on the same day, but it may have different names. For example, in the United States of America, this holiday is called National Thank You Day. It has become so popular among ordinary Americans that in some states the celebrations drag on for a whole month, which is called National Thank You Month.

Relatively recently, this date began to be celebrated in the territory of the post-Soviet space. Russians celebrate International Thank You Day on January 11th. Wherever you are, know that the tradition of the holiday has a single idea - to charge others with positive emotions and feelings. As a rule, most people exchange colorful cards, on the front side of which there is an inscription "Thank you!".

How did the holiday

International Thank You Day, celebrated on January 11, was approved at the initiative of UNESCO, who decided to remind all of humanity that in today's world it is very important to remain polite.

People are obliged to thank others for their help and just good deeds.

What to gift

On the eve of the International Thank You Day, we recommend making original postcards and giving them to everyone you know, without thinking about whether the person deserves our gratitude. Remember that there are no random people in our life. Some are able to help financially, someone morally, and there are those who will bring valuable experience, even if it is negative. For everything you need to sincerely thank, and International Thank You Day is a great occasion.

We all say thank you not only to our relatives and friends, but also to work colleagues and business partners. You can thank, for example, by rewarding the team with an extraordinary bonus, or by making discounts for regular customers. With this gesture, you will not only rise in the eyes of others, giving them pleasant emotions, but also make a competent business move that will definitely have a positive impact on your business.

Congratulations

January 11 - International Thank You Day. This is the most appropriate time when you can thank all your relatives and friends, even for the fact that they are simply in your life. On this day, it is customary to give with sincere and warm wishes. You can even thank your own life by leaving a note on the table with the lines:

"Thank you, say as often as possible,

Thank you - a symbol of magic,

Thank you can make everything much more beautiful

And give a wagon of goodness.

Thank you, life, for the bright moments,

Thank you, life, for joy and love,

Thank you for your luck and patience

Thank you for a cozy home!”

Russian thanks

On the territory of the Russian Federation, the International Day of "Thank You" began to be celebrated a few years ago. Relatively recently, the very word "thank you" appeared, which, according to some scholars, came to us from Paris at the end of the 16th century. It was then that an abbreviated form arose from the phrase "Save Bai!". Bai is one of the dominant pagan gods, whose name they tried not to use once again in speech. People expressing their respect said: "thank you, thank you."

Russian thanks appeared much later than French and comes from the phrase “God save!”. A word that expresses something more than just gratitude is used exclusively in a positive way, experiencing bright feelings for the addressee.

Gratitude in the Modern World

Despite the fact that almost every mother tries to teach her child to say thank you, many young people try to exclude him from their vocabulary, as you can often hear the phrase: “Thank you in your pocket.” Sounds embarrassing, doesn't it?!

In order for your child to feel free to express gratitude to other people, it is necessary not only to teach him good manners, but also to regularly take him to events dedicated to International Thank You Day. For children, as a rule, the organizers arrange various competitions, the purpose of which is to instill good manners in the younger generation. If your child is already old enough, then ask him to make colored cards with the word thank you on his own, and then distribute them to those whom he would like to thank.

You can also arrange a geographical quiz on January 11th. International Thank You Day is a great occasion to make colorful flags with the word "thank you" in different languages. And then, together with the child, according to the language principle, assign them to suitable countries, for example, thank you - USA or Great Britain, merci - France.

The magical properties of the word

Some psychologists are convinced that the word "thank you" contains the strongest magical properties. It can warm the soul and calm a person. Also, the word can be compared with stroking, only in oral form. That is why it is extremely necessary to use it in the address of those people whom we want to thank for something.

Most experts agree that a person who has the habit of saying thank you has a positive effect on the people around him. This is due to the fact that the phrase itself, as a rule, is pronounced from a pure heart and with good intentions.

Virginia Satir is a fairly respected American psychologist. She wrote in her scientific papers that a person needs at least four hugs a day for a normal life. In order to bring a person out of depression, it is enough to hug him eight times a day, and for maximum stimulation - twelve.

The word "thank you" is a kind of hug that can warm a loved one even at a great distance. Say this word on the phone more often, because it is with him that you convey a piece of warmth. Remember that everything in the world is arranged according to the boomerang principle. Having done something nice for someone, kindness will definitely return to your life.

You don't have to wait until International Thank You Day (January 11) to thank someone. Say this word as often as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to look the addressee in the eyes, since gratitude should not be conditional.

The most polite metropolis is New York. It is in this city that people most often thank each other. The capital of the Russian Federation took only thirtieth place in this rating, which included 42 largest cities on the planet.

Every year the whole world celebrates International Thank You Day. The photo shows the sincerity and joy of the participants of the event. This holiday falls on January 11th.

January 11 is the most "polite" date of the year. This day marks World Thank You Day (not to be confused with the American Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Sunday of November).

Everyone knows from childhood that "thank you" is the word "magic". Together with the words "please", "give" and "mother" we pronounce it first and continue to pronounce it throughout our lives. The word "thank you" is a well-established abbreviation for the phrase "God save" - this phrase in Russia expressed gratitude. For the first time the word "thank you" was recorded in 1586, in a phrase book published in Paris.

We are well aware of the importance of good manners, their necessity in everyday life, but most of the thanks we express, as if in passing, without thinking about their meaning. Meanwhile, the words of gratitude "thank you" and even "please" have magical properties, but they cannot be pronounced when a person is irritated. Some may say, "Well, thank you!" and so on, but no! This is not allowed, this is not an etiquette rule! Psychologists believe that words of gratitude are signs of attention, they are verbal "strokes" and are able to warm with their warmth.

Every day we say “thank you” to each other, so it is very important to remember that true gratitude is only that which comes only from a pure heart!

Today thank everyone who is close to you, everyone you love and appreciate. And remember: “thank you” is a firefly word, so warm your loved ones today!
