In Chinese Culture, we believe that if we have the heart, you will know. So usually guys are not willing to say I love you, because we think if I love you, I tell you once, you know it for the rest of the life. But in fact, things may not working that way, your girl friend will probably be more happy if you tell her your feeling everyday, so does Thank you note.

For example, someone did a great favor for you, you said Thank you at the event, it is good. In the meantime, you might want to follow up with a Thank you note as well. See what Dale Carnegie Coach’s corner teach you today:

The Lost Art of the Thank You Note: Give Honest, Sincere Appreciation

Writing a sincere thank you note is one of the professional skills that can make a lasting favorable impression. People like being appreciated. One of Dale Carnegie’s fundamental human relation principles is “Give honest, sincere appreciation.” When writing a thank you note, use a plain, small card. However, the card is not as important as the effort, so if paper is all that is available, write the note anyway! Use this 6-step formula as a sure-fire method of expressing appreciation in a written note.
Greet the Giver: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith OR Dear Jamie. It seems like an obvious point, yet many people will begin a note with “Hi” or even omit the greeting.

Express Gratitude: Thank you so much for the book. The key is to keep it simple and specific. The point of writing the note is to create an expression of a heartfelt sentiment.

Discuss Use: I started to read the book immediately and have found many great ideas already. People like to know that you found their gesture or gift valuable. Sharing how you are using the item or idea makes their effort more meaningful.

One more point I want to add is, it is not about what you know, it is about what you do! So put your sincere appreciation in your heart, appreciate others for every little thing happening in your life, you will find out the more your appreciate others, the happier you might become!
