how people flower under appreciation?
It could be as simple as a
Please - appreciating the fact that the person of whom you are making a request can do what you want,
or
Thank you - appreciating what someone has done
or
Giving the time of day - appreciating the humanness of the people you meet
or
Paying a compliment (no matter how tiny is the achievement) - appreciating the effort that the person has put in
or
Taking the time to say Hello - appreciating the other person's presence
or
A well done to a sportsperson who has probably not made it to the top three places - appreciating the sportsperson's participation
or
Any kind of recognition expressed verbally or with a hug - appreciating whatever it is that the person has said or done
The teeniest word of appreciation brightens up another's day, raises their self-esteem and self-confidence, spurs them on to do better and go higher, and assures them that their place in the sun is intact.
