I’ve said it before — given the name of my business and my blog — it seems appropriate to celebrate the well-turned phrase from time-to-time. So …
Many of you probably heard this — Katie Couric said it on her last day on NBC’s Today Show (May 31, 2006). I think the sentiment’s nice and it’s well put, so I think it’s worth repeating (well, possibly paraphrasing, as I’m going by memory):
Unexpressed gratitude is like wrapping a present for someone and not giving it.
Nice, eh?
Hats off to Ms. Couric (who admitted she heard something along these lines somewhere — so I don’t think it was her idea originally, but that’s ok…).
