I am a teacher also and I can tell some additional way to show you care: Work with parents to show interest and concern for their children. Medical am, September 21, Link. From my experience of my own school days and having worked as a School Science Technician, I think the best, kindest teachers could teach any subject to anyone.
I did well in the subjects taught by my favourite teachers and vice versa. Wendy am, October 16, Link. Thanks for your comments! Working with parents is a wonderful way to demonstrate care.
I also agree that a great teacher can make any subject interesting. Case in point: as an undergrad at UCLA, I took a class in psychobiology and almost changed my major because the teacher was so fabulous. He made the topic come alive and, as a result, I have a lifelong fascination with the interconnection between the brain, neurotransmitters, and our mental health.

Some time ago, however, I had the same feeling we all get on occasion—a desire to do more. To appreciate them in a way that will make them truly feel appreciated.
For this reason alone, our friends are worthy of more than a simple thank you. Use the following six powerful and simple ways to show your friends you truly appreciate them. To show your friends you love them, show them that their well-being is a higher priority to you than other things in your life. For example, a friend in distress who is in the middle of a big life decision calls you, in tears, and asks for your help. You must ask yourself which one is truly more important. A true friend deserves to have your attention in this scenario.
If you are physically spending time with a friend, the least they deserve is your very existence. Being lost in your phone or other technologies brings no joy to a meeting, and you might as well not be there at all. When I first noticed this pattern emerging in groups, I began to encourage my friends to play a game that I read about online:.
Everyone at the table must put their phones in the middle of the table. The first person to give into the urge to check their phone must then pay the bill for the meal. We all have one or two friends with massive goals. You can be the one encouraging them to persist in the face of defeat, to reiterate how much of a truly golden heart they have and why they deserve success in whatever venture they may be pursuing.
For example, I have some friends who are extraordinary artists. Over the years, their journeys of making their passions their careers have been difficult, seeing as we still live in a culture than incorrectly undervalues the importance of art in society. I decided a long time ago to always give them a small psychological nudge every time I see them, just to ensure their optimism is maintained. I would remark upon their talent, ask them how business was going, and give any advice I was capable of giving, without being intrusive.
You never know how much resistance and rejection friends are receiving in their desire to live a meaningful and impactful life, and they often highly regard the opinions of friends. Objectivity, of course, is still necessary. It would not be wise, for example, to continue encouraging a friend who is on a clear path to suffering. But remember that personalized gifts have always, and will always, be more welcomed than any new object on the marketplace.
Personalizing gifts shows your friend that you remember the unique things about them and that you value and notice their wonderful wackiness. I once brought a friend a portable smartphone charger for his birthday. This particular friend was notorious for never having sufficient battery left on his phone to make or receive phone calls. In this case, only an exclamation point or two may be just the right touch to display that you are excited to help your customer get the most out of your product.
Additionally, when delivering less-than-amazing news, try and keep the tone as positive as possible by avoiding sad emoticons. In these cases, our Care Team prefers to follow these statements with hope, such as a temporary workaround for an issue, or an assurance that the problem will reach the appropriate party and we will let them know when it has been fixed. Hopeful statements can be finished off with an exclamation point, bringing your message back to a friendly tone! What are some ways that you and your team demonstrate friendliness in customer service?
