Appropriate mention, right in
front of the other person, of superior qualities or of a job or deeds well done.
The Gift of Consideration
Putting yourself in the other person's shoes and thus providing your genuine understanding of
his side of the case.
The Gift of Concession
Humbly saying, at just the right point, "I am sorry. You are right and I am wrong."
The Gift of Gratitude
Never forgetting to say "Thank You" and never failing to mean it.
The Gift of
Attention
When the other person
speaks, listen attentively. If his words are directed to you personally, meet his eye squarely.
The Gift of Inspiration
Plant seeds of courage and action in the other person's heart.
The Gift of Personal
Presence
In sickness, in
trouble, or in great joy, there is nothing quite equal to your personal expression of sympathy
or congratulations. Resolve to give these gifts each day. You will be pleasantly surprised
at what you will receive in return.
Please share these words with everyone you know this holiday season.
