Never Say "Have a Nice Day" - Dr. Loren Ekroth

Tip: Never Say "Have a Nice Day"

Never again say "Have a nice day." Here's why:

"Have a nice day" Meaning: A salutation, ostensibly to offer good wishes. In fact, it's a banal and insincere form of words given to anyone and everyone. Evidence of the meaninglessness of the sentiment is the fact that it is even used last thing at night when the opportunity to

have a nice day has all but disappeared.

Origin: US origin - around 1970s.

Try something different.

Example for cashiers: "Thanks for shopping with us."

Example for friends: "It was good to see you again."

Example for strangers: "I enjoyed meeting you."

Example for your home handyman: "Thanks for your

help. You did a good job."

Your homework is to create (or borrow) some fresh salutations and say them aloud a few times for practice

so that you own them.
