Ingratitude to man is ingratitude to God.  
Rabbi Shmuel Hanagid

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about these things.   
Paul's letter to the Philippians 4:8?

He who learns from his friend a single chapter, a single law, a single verse, a single expression or even a single letter, should show gratitude.  
Ethics from the Fathers 6:3

Gratitude for the abundance you have received
is the best insurance
that the abundance will continue.

Mohammad

An Attitude of Gratitude: "The uplifting and empowering impact of Compassionate Communication" What is Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication (NVC)? NVC is both a spiritual practice that helps us see our common humanity, and a concrete set of skills which help us to live more peacefully. These skills apply to thought, language, and using our power in a way that honors everyone's needs. NVC is a learnable process for creating emotional freedom, self-acceptance, inner peace, and fulfilling relationships. It involves expressing ourselves honestly, listening with empathy, and developing a more compassionate inner relationship. People around the world are using NVC skills to transform conflict, create harmony in their relationships, and build a world where everyone's needs are honored through compassionate giving, and without the use of coercion or violence. What are the benefits of NVC? NVC helps people to: * speak in a way that inspires compassion and understanding. * initiate difficult conversations with more ease and confidence. * remain centered and peaceful while hearing difficult messages. * express anger fully, safely and respectfully - yet powerfully. * shift patterns of thinking that lead to depression, guilt, shame. * enliven yourself by expressing and receiving gratitude. * translate criticism, judgments and blame into life-serving messages. * resolve long-standing conflicts and heal painful relationships. * inspire others to change their behavior willingly. Who is this training designed for? This training is open to all learning levels and is open to anyone and everyone. It will be of particular interest to: * People in relationships such as spouses and partners. * Parents and caregivers. * People who have challenging relationships at work. * People in the helping professions such as nurses, counselors, social workers and psychologists. * Teachers and educators of all kinds. * Managers, HR professionals and business people.
