Why I still write thank you notes

V

Know it sounds old fashioned but I hand write thank you notes after gifts, dinner invites, job interviews, everything. Takes 10 minutes. My kids think I'm crazy but people remember it. Had a hiring manager tell me 3 years later that my note was the reason they picked me over another candidate. Little things like this separate men from boys. It's about showing respect and gratitude. Don't let the world tell you this stuff doesn't matter.

This is solid parenting right here. My kids see me doing it and even though they think it's weird now, it's sinking in. Old fashioned isn't a bad thing.

Been doing the same thing for years and it's paid off more times than I can count. Teaching my kids that manners still matter in a world that's moving too fast.

Totally with you on this. I still write them and my kids are actually starting to see why it matters. Takes 10 minutes but it sets a real example for them.
