Gifts to Give at Christmas Time and Around the Year!

The Gift of Praise

Appropriate mention, right in front of the other fellow,

of superior qualities or of a job or deeds well done.

The Gift of Consideration

Putting yourself in the other'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 fellow 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.
