“Even though many of us have numerous occasions to feel grateful in both our personal and professional lives, we often miss out on opportunities to say thank you — especially at work. Failing to express gratitude is a missed opportunity. Research finds that it allows you to savor positive experiences, cope with stressful circumstances, and strengthen your relationships with colleagues. And sending a message of gratitude can also have powerful and long-lasting effects on the recipient, who will feel valued and motivated to help others. So send some thanks today — to colleagues, mentors, mentees, family, friends, or anyone who’s helped you along the way. But don’t wait another year to do it again! Whether you’re a CEO or someone looking for your first job, think about incorporating gratitude into your daily, weekly, and monthly routines. It may make your journey, wherever you’re going, a little brighter.” From, Be Grateful More Often
