Appreciate

Appreciate, we always tell ourselves and telling others that we must appreciate, again, it is always easier to be said than done, who really does appreciate everything they had and everything that is given to them?? I wonder.. Honestly, I'm not.. But, I'm learning...

You know what, for example, when you're working very hard for something, tried to finish it as soon as possible, doesn't matter it is already late at night, doesn't matter you can claim OT or not, you just want to make sure the task that put on your shoulder had been done perfectly... And finally, you finished everything and your manager give you a sincere smile and says: 'Thanks ya'... How will you feel?? As for me, I will feel very happy and satisfied.. It is worthwhile after all... You see, it is just a smile and a thank you, won't take much of your time or effort and it is even free-of-charge.. You don't have to give out even one cent... Then you're able to lighten up someone's day... Is it really that hard?? Give and take, don't be too stingy to give as what you get in return for sure, will be much more than what you've given out...

There're lots of people nowadays tend to be take things for granted.. As a boss, they will feel that, their staffs doing things for them is a OF-COURSE, they did it well, it was their responsibility and in the other had, they screwed things up, they will screwed you up or else, you will know it during your appraisal... As a friend, people also tends to accept whatever a friend can do for him/her as they feel that that is what a friend SHOULD do.. Never even show a token of appreciation.. A friend will feel nevermind if you never show your appreciation but you know what, if you showed, your friendship will blossom...

As a son/daughter, no matter what their parents did for them, they just take it for granted... I'm talking about those little tiny things like, purposely wake up earlier than you just to prepare breakfast for you so that when you'd well prepared yourself, you can just take your breakfast then off you go to school or work.. There're lots more example that I can listed down here, just sit back and think, what and how much your parents have done for you everyday and how much you really appreciate them... Really, every little thing also we should learn to appreciate... And when you appreciate, you will realised that your life is actually very beautiful with all the good things around you.. And then, you will be more optimistic and learn to enjoy your life to the fullest..

But anyway, even if people don't appreciate what you did, you don't have to be sad or fed up... After all, what you do is not just to show to others... You're not doing something for asking something in return... You do things for yourselves, for your own good, for what you think you should do... Also, look into other's weaknesses/bad habits, remind yourself not to do the same thing, this will turns you into a better person and you will become more understanding as well... As you know how it feels for not being appreciated...

Remember, you're not live for others BUT appreciate others that live with you...

Appreciate and you'll be appreciated...
