Rock Star Habit #321

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Last night as I watched the Oscars, I was noting and reminded of rock star (or rather, movie star) habit #321: be sure to thank others.

Case in point: Sandra Bullock’s thank you.  She thanked EVERYONE!  She thanked her mom, she thanked her husband, she thanked everyone she worked with, she thanked the real life person she played a character of, AND, best of all, she thanked every one of her peers in the category of best actress for inspiring her.  She provided thoughtful, poignant comments on everyone she thanked and did it eloquently and with humility.

This is a rock star habit.  Be sure to thank people who inspire you.  Go out of your way to try it today, and every day.  People love to be appreciated.  Besides, if you never thank anyone, how will they know they had any positive efficacy on your life?
