Laura Trice: Remember to say thank you (video, script)
Summary
The speaker Laura Trice could feel shy and embarrassed to say thank you, praise someone or receive praise from someone.
A certain person doesn't know that a person wants to hear praise directly, even though he/she tells everyone else that he/she is proud of that person. A person who wants to hear praise doesn't ask why he/she never say that.
Otherwise, there is a person who tells thank you to someone thinks why he/she has to say that. The speaker realized that she asked someone to praise her, that was to show her weakness.
Unconsciously, she thought that she should not give someone some her data and she blocked to ask and say it.
However, there is something wrong a bit with this. This small warp is fixed, that must say thank you, praise you and ask you to praise her. It is to be hoest.
First, you appreciate someone who is around you. And tell that no one might say a beautiful word to you to praise. It is important to praise and say thank you with all your heart.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1.Have you ever asked others to praise you? If you have, please tell what you did at that time or if you haven’t, please move on to no.2
Yes, I have. I supposed not to ask, but I have asked. I like my work. Work is fun, but it is often tough. Although the work is hard, we can still get salary. However, I wanted to hear thank you. This is great and really good job from the employer. I asked her like this story that it is important to say that thank you. Additionally, I said if she doesn't think that, she should say that. She said," I paid salary. It is not necessary to say that." I was depressed and I thought that I didn't want to be like her.
2.What is the most “admirable behavior” in your life?
I don't have a special admirable behavior. On my end, I can only continue this work. Work is sometimes hard and tough. Many customers rejecte my offer. However, I want our company product to be known by many people. I believe that this is the most “admirable behavior” in my life.
3.Who is the person you want to praise most now?
My mother is the person I want to praise most now. She was very strict to me but this was not the reason I didn't listen to what she said. Somehow, I did something that she didn't think. Now, I am an adult. I think that it is hard to raise children. She wanted to hear thank you from my father, however, my father thought that it is not necessary like this story. I heard that many times from her. By reading this, I really think that I have to say thank you to my mother.
