1) I'm sorry. 2) I thank you. 3) I forgive you. 4) I love you. Try it and see how powerful the four sentences work. I am trying to incorporate that in my life, especially to my family and close ones. Would you try this? Will this work for you?

I guess this 4 lines is important and helpful to keep attached our self with our loved ones.. sorry - we should not feel shamed to say sorry if we have done any mistake. thanks you - We should say this word every time we gets any help from others. Forgiveness - This is important.. ( but it depends ) for small mistakes we should forgive people so we can have long relationship with them. Love - no need to say anything about it :)

If one party is sorry but the other party does not forgive, the matter would not be resolved, we have to give and take both ways. Love - if not said, then I hope it is demonstrated by action.

I am a very proud person. So, although I agree with you that these sentences, should be spoken within family, I find that I have a hard time saying these. Maybe it's my inability to express what I really feel. But, this is a good reminder. And for that, I thank you.

I am like that too, many times I have done something wrong or spoken the wrong things but pride prevented me from saying sorry. I sometimes regret that because things could have been better but I remind myself that I will do the same thing again next time. Thanks for that too.

Hi Blue. My parents always raised us to forgive someone, as you never know if you won't seem them again...and to never go to bed angry. I think when you can quickly forgive someone or say you are sorry to someone fairly quickly you don't end up holding on to the anger any longer and building up resentment. I have always tried to remember that in life and in my marriage.

Hi, Your parents gave a good lesson. Isn't it good for us to always let go of whatever anger or resentment we have as soon as possible, or least once a day. We can then wake up afresh with no hate in our hearts.

Looks like a tall order. But wait, not too tall to try really.

Amazing how these small phrased words can go a long way.. I have always been a firm believer of utilizing them very freely. I usually feel that if my mind is at ease it usually allows me to live with me. So saying these phrases come really natural to me even when I agree to disagree.

I guess you have developed the habit of using these phrases to them, so much so that it has become natural to you. I hope they have helped smooth out your life.

i think you are meticulous .can you give me some advice about how to have a deep talk with my father ?sometimes i can't say "thank you " to my family mumbers.i can't stand my rudness to them .friends,help me,please!

Hi, I think you need to take it slowly. If you do not have the habit of having deep talks with your father, it won't be easy to jump into topic straightaway. Perhaps you can start with some light communications, make it a habit to talk to him often, tell him about your daily experiences and so on. Let him open up to you and then it will be easier. Hope this helps!

Yeah , this really works. It strenghten the bond of yourelationships. These words are educating. I teach you how to learn from your mistakes so that you will not do it again. It teach you how to appreciate even small things. it Teach you humility, that we are above no one. That we are all sinners who are willing to change, and lastly it teach us how to be human. How to have feelings... emotions and commitment, which is the key to a peaceful and harmonious existence.
