5 Reasons to Say Thank You and 2 Why People Don’t
The Federation of Trade Union of Xiangfan and the Xiangfan’s Businesswomen Association started a program last year where 19 businesswomen offered financial scholarships to 22 needy college students.
Promises of 1,000-3,000 yuan each year for four years were made.
However, after one year, the group has decided to renege on five students.
Indian givers?
Hardly.
In fact, two-thirds of the 22 beneficiaries of the scholarships didn’t write a letter, take time to say ‘thank you’ , to acknowledge receipt, say kiss my butt, anything AND one who did write back mainly discussed how poor his family was and how much he needed more money.
Some of the businesswomen refused to sponsor the ‘cold-blooded students’ anymore.
Here! Here!
The other seventeen students will continue to get their money this year…and hopefully learn how to write.
One person tried to explain why the students didn’t write -
1. a sense of pride or feeling embarrassed.
2. some took the money for granted because they thought they were good at their studies and ‘deserved’ the money.
Kind of reminds me of the 10 lepers that Jesus healed. One came back to say thank you and the other nine went on their way.
Some things haven’t changed in 2000 years.
Who do you need to say ‘thank you’ to today?
Do it now!
