Isn’t it conclusive now, that when the communication has dominated an entire evolutionary phase, then what effective and influential communication could not do for you!

Let's begin the magic and see your life transforming into Utopia, right in front of your eyes.

• Please’

Many people, or should I say, many people with amour propre tend to avoid this simple word like a pest. However, uttering this single syllable, when you need a helping hand, can be very transformative. It is observed that people, who have a tendency of saying this magical word, are generally liked by all. In fact, most communication gurus too advise their clienteles to use the word even in generic conversations, as, it shows a hint of a well-bred person.

Try to remember the last time when someone has bluntly ordered you to do something. How did you feel then? Did you do the assigned task efficiently? Was there not a tinge of bitterness, even if the speaker was your superior? Now remember the last time when someone has asked you to do something and has even attached that miraculous word ‘please’ to the sentence. Now, did you not completed the task effectively? Were you not in a happier state of mind? And did you even think lowly of the speaker, even for a moment? I’d wager that you can not possibly frame a dissenting reply even if someone has asked you a dreadful question like ‘Do my assignment

• with a smile and a ‘please’. That is the power of this magical, or more importantly- courteous, word.
• Sorry’

Again the utterly self-contained people have a disinclination towards this unsophisticated word. However, it is to be understood that there is a fine line between pride and vanity, and it does not require a braintruster to know which quality is the preferred one. In fact, a truly confident person would never hesitate from apologizing if the situation demands it. As they say-

"Apologizing does not always mean you're wrong, and the other person is right. It just means you value your relationship more than your ego."

It is as simple as that. Many arguments can be avoided, many rows can be dissolved, many friends can be appeased, and indeed, many lives can be delighted by articulating this lexeme.

• Thanks’

This is the word that has been used as the symbol of courteous manners since time immemorial. Enunciating this simple word can cheer up the listener, and undoubtedly your consideration would not get missed out from the stretch of his/her mind where your sketch is imprinted. So yes, if you are a believer of ‘first impression is the last/lasting impression’ then do not forget to add at least one ‘thank you’ in your speech, whenever you are having a small talk with someone for the first time. And as they say, ‘For better results’ make it a habit of showing gratitude even for trifle things and transform yourself into an amiable person, people so esteem.

However, saying this word does not only benefit the speaker only in developing a likable social status. There seems to be a deeper connection between a person’s tendency of showing gratitude and his/her well-being. According to a report presented by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in the year 2003, "Gratitude, like other positive emotions, broadens the scope of cognition and enables flexible and creative thinking, it also facilitates coping with stress and adversity."

So, who’s going to be the first person to whom you will whisper these three magical words?
