Letters of Note

ljudi, što ste mi ukazali veliku čast da vam služim kao predsjednik. Kad me Gospodin pozove kući, kad god to bilo, ostavit ću najveću ljubav prema ovoj našoj zemlji i vječni optimizam za njezinu budućnost.

Sada započinjem putovanje koje će me odvesti u zalazak sunca mog života. Znam da će za Ameriku uvijek biti svijetla zora pred nama.

Hvala vam, prijatelji moji. Neka vas Bog uvijek blagoslovi.

Iskreno,

Ronald Reagan

Recimo da ste bubnjar benda i netko napiše lošu recenziju vaše najnovije turneje. Što učinite? Ako ste zapravo Roger Taylor, bubnjar grupe Queen, napišete pismo na vrećici protiv mučnine u avionu i pošaljete ga uredniku Rolling Stonea . Iz 1981.:

Tvoj neobičan stav o vremenu u 1970-ima, u kombinaciji s urođenim, kongenitalnim pogrešnim shvaćanjem rock & rolla, i dalje fascinira i živcira. Hvala ti, oh, hvala ti, na pseudopolitičkoj pristranosti i osobnoj nepoštenosti koju i dalje širiš u svojoj zastarjeloj, tvrdoglavoj, tradicionalnoj krpi.

Hvala i na fino usklađenoj glazbenoj procjeni moje grupe s naše tonske probe! Odrasti. Ti si izmislio gorčinu. Žao mi te. Loš si. Dosadan si i pokušavaš nas zaraziti.

Čekam tvoju šarmantnu recenziju mog trenutnog albuma za otprilike osam mjeseci!

ROGER TAYLOR
London, Engleska

No doubt thanks giving is a powerful tool for engagement with others ; It makes u submissive in front of others despite their status .

The human race is in fact non-aligned to the world of emptiness as exhibited by sincere feelings of the rich and famous. Respect and pride blend the bond of happiness.

The letters are worth reading. In normal course this would not have been possible to  share with so many at a strech buts its the advance technology that has made it possible. Thanks to the founder who devloped this format.

I have written thank you notes my whole life,  and I do know the power of a simple thank you.  And to see that even "famous" people do the same, is wonderful.  Hopefully more people will do the same.
