The importance of appreciation

                                  
Language is the most beautiful gift of evolution. We humans, are blessed in the sense that we have the ability to use words to convey our emotions but isn't it sad that we compromise on this ability often. In the hustle bustle of life where most of the urban people have all attention dedicated to mobile screens most of the time, words would come in more handy and save us the effort of mind reading. You might be wondering what am I exactly trying to hint at. I want all of us to realise the importance of appreciation. I wonder do we think of appreciation as rapidly depleting essential resource which we all want to have but would never want to give. It is a very rewarding investment for the benefits far outweigh the costs. Your mother cooks food for you every day and the number of other errands she does run into a long list. The food which she prepares with so much love and affection is hardly appreciated. More often than not we simply eat it while watching television or checking messages on phone. If instead we would relish the food and appreciate our mother, we would be trading a lot of happiness for a few words. Mothers hardly have expectations but a smile on their face is priceless. Isn't it? Let us start from home and make appreciating others a habit. This will clear us of the pessimism and we will soon unearth all the hidden goodness. Lets appreciate an act of kindness by someone, an initiative at work by our fellow or maybe something as little as someone looking pretty. Appreciation is a power that each one of us has to make someone happy or maybe to make someone smile. The world would be such a beautiful place if we appreciate. Let us start with our home and initiate the culture of appreciation.
