This was sent to me and I found it rather interesting. What do you think are important words?

The six most important words
"I admit that I was wrong!"

The five most important words
"You did a great job."

The four most important words
"What do you think?"

The three most important words
"May I help?"

The two most important words
"Thank You!"

The most important word
"We."

The least important word
"I"

"It's okay. Really."

"Relax."

I'm with musick on this one. Though it made me think about the oversimplification of assertions, having just read the thread on the difference between watch and see [slowly catching up in Miscellany e]. I'm not sure I believe these are the most important words I could say: I can't imagine that anyone other than my immediate family cares whether I love them or not--I'm not that important. But I think they're the most important words I could hear.

Not the most important, just important. I think perhaps it was a list that was written in a business context.
Musick - you sweetie - I love you too!
