10 People You Must Thank Wholeheartedly

If you had to find 10 people to express your deepest gratitude to, you should consider the following list:

1. Your parents

This one is at the top of my list as I consider this the most important but is always forgotten by most of us despite we remind ourselves over and over again. Our parents without any doubt have played the most critical part in our life journey – the start. And their work didn’t stop there. They have worked their whole life for the goodness of us. In Confucian philosophy, filial piety (Chinese: 孝) is a virtue of respect for our parents. It means to be good to our parents, to take care of them, to accompany them, to protect them, and even to pay them back by material means. (More about filial piety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/filial_piety) In today’s world, some of us may not need to pay back our parents by material means, but we really need to do something to express our deepest gratitude to our parents even though they may not ask for it. So we need to grab all the opportunity to thank them and do so fast enough, because you may regret it some day when you suddenly realize that it has become too late to do so.
