Appreciation

I had wanted to blog for a few times prior to this. However, whenever a thought struck me, and I started to log in to blog, I realised that except for that one or two liner, I do not have anything else to write about. That's probably me, since I can not express myself well, and that I have problems elaborating things.

There were so many instances I saw and wanted to write about, but wasn't really ready to write. So, in order to improve this 'problem' of mine, I have decided to blog down this post, by hook or by crook.

I happened to look at this sign in my office, then inspiration struck me. again. I'll upload the photo of the sign when I can take a picture of it lolx..

Anyway, the sign says " Nobody Notices What I Do Till I Don't Do It"

Looking at it, I can't help but wonder, when was the last time my boss showed appreciation for my work. Has it become a 'taken for granted' thing? More often than not, most people tend to take for granted what other people had done for them. Is it THAT difficult to give a praise? Or has the rising prices made people more thrifty with praises? Does it EVEN cost you a cent?

I believed that is the 'problem' with most people, including myself. We failed to realise the power of praising. More often than not, we do not appreciate those people that have done work for you. However, we will always remember the mistakes and wrong doings of the other people.

I'm sure everyone of us have had this kind of feeling before, and I can assure you, nobody likes it when you are being remembered for your mistakes instead of your achievements. If you share the same sentiments with me, please learn to appreciate other people.

I shall end with the following quote, by myself.. Hahahha

"Nobody likes to do things for other people, appreciate those who do, and you shall receive more" =)
