Thanksgiving is truly a special day. It was first celebrated in 1621 when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Native Americans shared a fall harvest. In 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving Day is more than memories, food, football and parades. It is a day of thanks. On this day, we are reminded of the bounty of treasures that are a part of our everyday lives. We spend a few, often too brief, moments in prayer or meditation before dinner to say thanks for our family, friends and the wonderfulness of our lives. The true meaning of Thanksgiving should not end there. Ponder the two words that are involved: thanks and giving. We should therefore be reminded to give thanks and to share. Take the time to share our economic benefits, material wealth and talents with those who can use our help. Once again as you sit down to dinner, ponder the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day

TACT
Tact is the ability to get people to do what you want them to do without offending them. Nothing is more important to the smooth operation of any company. Using tact keeps people in the mode of doing their best. This can be accomplished without berating or belittling someone. It also avoids potential bitterness and resentment. A tactful boss or manager should never set out to blame someone. When you blame people, it seldom makes them want to do better. In the end, it will stir up potential morale problems, especially if the blame is found to be all or partly undeserved. When something is wrong and things aren't going right, don't start looking for who is to blame. Start looking for what is wrong and how everyone can work together to make it better. Whether the problem was the result of neglect, inefficiency, an honest mistake or an oversight approaching those involved with tact will go a long way in solving the problem. Whatever was the cause of the situation should now be eliminated. Thank you for reading Bane’s Blog® Please read the latest issue of the Clene-Times® at www.baneclene.com/publications/.
