Appreciation

It feels proud to say that I am working in Mastermind Training & Consultancy Services where we are not only working but also learning with fun and joy. In our company, apart from morning presentation we are doing another activity and that is Learning & Sharing. In a month, as a human being whatever we learn, we share with our team members in specific time limit on last Saturday of the month. 29^th April 2017 was the day which we all family (team) members would always want to remember because on that day we learnt the importance of appreciation. A superb speech by our CMD Mr. Aslam Charania along with a related activity was conducted. As I feel it’s important So, I am sharing with you.

Someone rightly said, “A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected”.

Appreciation is so much important in our life. Because we never know when our one good word that came from the bottom of our heart will change other’s future. In Maharabharata, Karna joined hands with Duryodhana because of his appreciation. Because no one had appreciated him earlier and Duryodhana did. We all are very much aware that when anyone insults us in public or private at that time how we feel. We feel like killing that person. Now just imagine, when someone praises us in public at that time how we would feel.

Surrounded by technological advances, these days we live more in virtual world (created by facebook and whats app) where appreciating is easy as it just involves typing some fabulous words; but, when it comes to real life where words, expressions and body language all have a combined effect, appreciation becomes quite difficult.  Now I will ask 3-4 questions and request all of you to ask yourself and if you have the answer of these questions, then kindly share it in comment.

      

      1.       When did I genuinely appreciate my Mother, Father, Sister or Brother?

      2.       When did I genuinely appreciate my wife?

      3.       When did I genuinely appreciate my friends?

We all are very much busy in our day to day life and don’t have time to appreciate others. If I talk about our family members then we feel that it’s their duty. And we are also so much busy with our routine tasks that we don’t have any time to appreciate them. Just spare some time with your family members and appreciate them then see what will happen.

It’s again easy to give order to our wife or suggesting her - what to do and what not to do. Appreciate her for her efforts. And enjoy your relationship.

Same is also applicable with friends. In any friend group, one friend is on pinnacle where some are in middle and rest in bottom. They all are enjoying each other’s friendship. If possible share your appreciation with them we never know when career graph of our friend will boost up.

So, Appreciation is so important in our life. I had also received some appreciation from my team members. And believe me it has change my perception towards my life. It has filled up a new level of energy in my body and soul. What we did on that day just took one paper dish and attached it on our back and asked our team members to write something what they like in us. I am feeling glad to share that appreciation with you.
