Appreciation by HEART

Appreciation is an important element of our life. Everyone likes to be appreciated for the work they have done, everyone likes to be praised for the effort they have put for the show, everyone wishes to get acknowledged, everyone longs to get noticed. Appreciation from others boosts our confidence, it helps us carry on with our committed work with more vigor and more enthusiasm. Appreciating others for their look, for their dress, for their performance, for their service, for their timely help is one of the highest attribute because its not easy to appreciate others.

I usually dont have the habit of appreciating others until it has really touched my heart. But when we genuinely appreciate others, it brings in the feeling of joy and contentment, it brings out the best of the person. True appreciation does not necessarily puff up the ego of the other person while false glorification or flattery can prove to be detrimental.

Appreciation along with the suggestion for the betterment of service is more laudable. If we are appreciated for what we have done and also given a positive/negative/corrective feedback, then that will be a healthy appreciation. Thus, not acknowledging others' service or falsely glorifying someone, both are extremes and both are bad as it is like a two edged sword, it is neither good for the speaker nor for the listener.
