History is full of inspiring tales of great individuals who could not have achieved big things in life if it were not for the sincere and constant appreciation they received from others. Human beings have the innate need and desire to be appreciated and accepted. Thus , a simple gesture or word of appreciation serves as a whiff of fresh air to a discouraged individual and lights up his/her life.The most important aspect of appreciation is that it helps both the giver and the receiver to come out of the daily boring and routine work of life and feel lightened. Genuine appreciation enriches both the parties concerned since when the person appreciates someone or something he/she unconsciously endorses the good content there and is open to accepting the positive element in himself/herself. Perhaps that’s why someone has said “ I spoke one little word of praise and sunshine fell on both our ways.” Always remember when you offer someone a sincere compliment or appreciation or even words of encouragement or just a smile, you are making the world of that individual a better place . You are making him/ her feel appreciated and valuable.In order to give unconditional positive regards to others one should be appreciative of oneself and should have the ability to see the positive elements in the most negative situations. Often the simplest and the most practical way to express appreciation is to look for the good around oneself. When we realize our own need for appreciation, why should we shy away from extending it to those who really deserve it ? When we look for positivity around us and appreciate the good in people we can help them to achieve greatness in their lives .Rotary leadership should remember that Rotarians will do much more for recognition or appreciation , they will work harder and do more if they know they will be recognized for their accomplishment . Show them you care and they will be loyal to you and the organization.“ LETS BE GRATEFUL TO THOSE WHO MAKE US HAPPY, THEY ARE THE CHARMING GARDENERS WHO MAKE OUR SOUL BLOSSOM “.
