Practicing gratitude and being thankful in life is the most valuable lessons that one may learn. Being thankful in general is a secret of one’s own happiness. If you spread happiness among the people around you, it will bring inner satisfaction to your own self in longer run if not immediately.

Showing gratitude is an essential part of being happy and this feeling one can only experience if s/he has the habit of being grateful. Being thankful is one thing but how you express that feeling to others is another important thing.

A proper and unique way to say it always shows the other person that you actually mean it and appreciate his/her act of kindness. A word of thank you along with a little gift makes it a pleasant surprise.

Putting a little effort to please your loved ones spreads happiness and they automatically become kind to you. There is a saying,

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” —Mark Twain

Be kind to others and you will certainly receive better!
