World Thank You Day. World Thank You Day! The history of the holiday January 11 is the international day of thank you

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 Rus' 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.

Material prepared on the basis of open sources

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 Rus' 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 casually, 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!

When you have done something for someone, and the person has not said a word in response, then you either expect to hear something, or you notice and keep in your memory “this ingratitude”.

January 11 a relatively young holiday is celebrated - International Day of "thank you". This holiday is celebrated all over the world.

The word itself arose around the 16th century from the phrase " God save". Thus the word THANKS implies appreciation and gratitude.

Words of gratitude affect each of us, because they create an atmosphere and sense of importance. They are a "pill" with healing properties. They affect relationships, and our emotions.

They say that the habit of giving thanks, allows you to pay more attention to the positive moments in life, which means that this habit saves us from depression or a bad mood.

About etiquette, we should say " Thanks”, but at the same time, you need to look the person in the eye. This conveys our attitude towards the addressee. In other words, it is desirable see a person's face and eyes.

The reader may be surprised and say, but what about those situations when we express words of gratitude over the phone?

It's very simple: we do it with intonation. and the more sincerely we do it, the better and richer it is felt in our intonation.

Therefore, the ability to say "thank you" is worth a lot.

We can say thank you to our little children, mother or just a stranger for any service rendered or for any attention.

The word "thank you" comes from the traditional Russian expression "Save God." Accordingly, a person who has done something good, you can say "God save you!".

Orthodox people very often say exactly “ Save me, God!"- instead of thanks."

Old Believers do not use the word "thank you", they avoid it in their speech, because they believe that this word was born from the phrase "save Bai".

Bai - this is the name of one of the pagan gods.

In their speech, the Old Believers prefer the use of the word: " thank you!», « Thanks to!».

We educate our children, first of all, with this very "magic" words.

They should be able to properly thank and, as adults, strive to be kind and considerate.

We all are well aware of the importance of good manners and their necessity in everyday life. Words of gratitude have magical properties.

This is an opportunity give joy to each other, it is an expression of attention and the transmission of positive emotions.

Without it, our life would become gray and gloomy. We must not forget that in many tourist guides and instructions to tourists the word “thank you” is indicated, even with an accent in the language of the host country.

As the saying goes, it facilitates understanding between people.

If speak about psychological effect, then the words of gratitude are “verbal stroking” or “ oral hugs”, able to soothe and warm with their warmth and tenderness.

The main thing is that all words of gratitude are pronounced from the heart!

People say: “Do not say words of gratitude in a state of irritation!”.

And do not think that someone did not deserve this gratitude. After all, every person who appears in our lives comes to give us something, or teach us something. Another thing is that we do not always understand it!

There are supporters of the idea that the word “thank you” should not be used, explaining this not so much by religious reasons as by semantic ones.

They explain this by the fact that “thank you” is a message of gratitude from the person himself (“giving” good, wishing good).

But “thank you” (from “God save!”), as it were, shifts the “fulfillment” of gratitude to God. As an author, it's hard for me to argue with this!

The word "thank you" can be used to "soften" denial of something. This is a great solution for those who can not immediately say "no".

We begin to give meaningful thanks only to 6-7 years old. Therefore, you should not think, and even more so, draw any conclusions about the upbringing of young children.

Probably each of us remembered situations when a mother pulls a child by the handle or simply pushes and says:

- "What should I say?"

It is important to always say “thank you” to the child himself for his good, kind deeds.

World thank you day, which is celebrated on January 11- this is not only a reason for celebration, but also an opportunity to remember the true meaning of gratitude and its manifestation.

It's a great way to lay good manners in a child, along with positive emotions.

And I say Thanks to the readers for reading this article and I wish them a pleasant celebration of this day!

The choice is always yours!
I KNOW YOU CAN!
