*GRATITUDE - THANKS - APPRECIATION*



*Even with little, you are Rich, if you are Grateful. Even with plenty, you
are Poor,*

* if you aren’t Grateful.*

   A person with gratitude on his lips and heart, is always happy, while,
the person who is ever complaining, grumbling, criticizing, generates only
misery for himself and for those around him. An *Attitude of Gratitude,* makes
yours an enriched and fulfilling life, full of happiness and satisfaction.
Hence, if you want universal blessings showered on you, *your family,
children, friends, make Gratitude *an integral part of your life and always
be on the lookout for any opportunity for expressing gratitude, thanks,
sincere appreciation or spontaneous compliments. Such an attitude, will
elevate you in others’ eyes and would make you immensely happy. *Gratitude
is just one more form of love and affection, which fills your own heart and
mind with happiness and satisfaction.*

*GRATITUDE, WHENEVER FELT, MUST BE EXPRESSED. *

*SAY 'THANK YOU 'AND MAKE IT YOUR FAVORITE WORD  .KR IRS 12 1 24*

Mr Sekar said a fish can only swim but cannot climb a tree; absolutely
true. Why Einstein? All knows. So what one is capable of alone one shall do

is not only frivolous but also an act of bias.  Bharathy sang" nidhi

Dear Mr Sekar,
I am touched by the following lines translated to English of Bharathiar, posted 
by you.

 
"If you can't help with money and materials at least give moral support - in my 
opinion moral support includes words of appreciation. "

My point - Even appreciation is not required. One can keep quiet  with out 
abusing by worst English/ Tamil/ Malayalam words. 

Even today morning there was a mail from Mr Lakshmi Narayanasharma in this 
regard. 

I cannot remain silent  in this context of abusing by worst Malayalam and 
English words in one to one mails by Sri APS Mani to me. 
He is not ready to post his responses through groups. I think most probably it 
could be due to some psychiatric problems.
Even when I  forwarded one or two to groups , he responded conveniently 
avoiding answering  about abusing words on me. Very cunning  fellow.
Mr Rajaram criticizes   and respond in sarcastic manner. He has stopped abusing 
mails to me now.He has no positive thinking.

Whenyou are appreciated and approved by many or all, you automatically 
breathe,smell and feel it. You exhale your happiness which every organism of

everyorganism feels the happiness. Nature gets energy. Nature proceeds to its

healthcascades of nature. Nature itself becomes confident. Health becomes the

thecore nuclear level, the photons photon-synthesize optimism. You have to 
notethat you have the fundamental cosmic connection, simply connected to God. 
And youget understanding in the manner you want.

The opposite of appreciation, is deprecationand disapproval. Deprecation leads 
to the depreciation of self confidence. Inresponse to deprecation you exhale 
your unhappiness, which every organism ofthe Biosphere inhales. Deprecations 
fight deprecations, creating a war in theinvisible spectrum. Both happiness and 
unhappiness are contagious. They travelin the air and all organisms breathe, 
smell and sense.

When you appreciate yourself but do not expressyour appreciation to others 
then, you are actually arresting the flow of appreciation.Words of appreciation 
create cascades of energy and activity. You can expressyour appreciation even 
without speaking in words. Just feel your appreciationand exhale by going to 
the person or organism you appreciate. When you exhale, youexhale your 
appreciation which the other organism or person inhales. Justdevelop the habit 
of appreciation and gradually you find that you are succeedingin whatever you 
are attempting.

Air determines the quality of everything, thefood you eat, the feelings you 
breathe in, the feelings you exhale, all ofwhich mix in the air others inhale. 
In a free, lush and healthy nature, you feelonly happiness and approval. But 
where a factory has polluted the air, land andwater, where the food one eats 
and the air one breathes gives only ill health,one continuously exhales one’s 
disapproval and deprecation.

The first motto of every University must be tobecome the fountain of approval, 
not merit judging factory. It has to brim with a healthy Biosphere.

Clean Your Mother's Hands and story of appreciation

Clean Your Mother’s Hands

By Georgy

[image: Inline image 1]
Story of Appreciation

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial
position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did
the last interview, made the last decision. The director discovered from
the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way,
from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year
when he did not score.

The director asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school?” the youth
answered “none”. The director asked, ” Was it your father who paid for your
school fees?” The youth answered, “My father passed away when I was one
year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, ” Where did your mother work?” The youth answered, “My
mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show
his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, ” Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes
before?” The youth answered, “Never, my mother always wanted me to study
and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean
your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.”

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went
back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His
mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to
the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled,
and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful
that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water. This was the
first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed
the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in
the mother’s hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his
graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed
all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked
for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. The Director noticed
the tears in the youth’s eyes, asked: ” Can you tell me what have you done
and learned yesterday in your house?” The youth answered, ” I cleaned my
mother’s hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes’

The Director asked, ” please tell me your feelings.”

The youth said,

*Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would
not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my
mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something
done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of
family relationship.*
The director said, ” This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want
to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who
knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would
not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of
his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The
company’s performance improved tremendously.

Praise and Appreciation at the work place

2014-02-24 Thread Vanakkam Subbu
Praise and Appreciation at the work place

*Written by Tekeste Asghedom*


*This article will focus at the work place. However its applicability could
also prevail at home, in schools and in group meetings, be it in business
or social gatherings.*

















*Praise and appreciation should be part and parcel of the art of
management. However it is rather common to see managers with frowned face
who enjoy sadistically seeing their staff tremble in their presence. With
such scene they wrongly feel that they are one of the most highly respected
managers. In such atmosphere the workers would feign to look industrious
during the attendance of their rude manager. They will go here and there
simply to show him how busy they look like. In his absence, however, they
deliberately slow down their activities and on occasions they even plunder
into some sort of sabotage. The act of so much seriousness on the part of
the managers simply bars the communication that could have existed with the
employees. It is a body language demonstrated by the mangers that rebuffs
the approach of the employees. The manager is stet to loose important
information that the employees could have provided him. The employees will
simply be indifferent.In the women’s rest room one worker was wasting the
toilet paper in great folds. When asked by one colleague why she has to
resort into such unruly behaviour, the answer was, she has to do it as
retribution to the rude, or according to her, the rather evil acts of the
manager. I hate the boss she continued. He has never been appreciative of
whatever good jobs we would perform. He would bark on any trivial mistakes
we make and he takes grudge for several months. I am now on the way of
quitting this job and will join another organization. “My wife is a
monster”, told Simon to his friend Ande. She has never been appreciative of
whatever I do or our children perform. For years she has shown us a
horrendous gloomy face. She never demonstrated a charming face. Our
children would tremble in her presence for they would not expect any good
words from her. Always she makes everyone in the family feel absolutely
guilty even for trivial matters.  In short she has been a disaster. It was
a chaotic family affair. Finally I have to break and now I am leading a
peaceful life. I am able to view a different horizon of
tranquillity.  During a farewell party on the occasion of his retirement,
Suleiman told his colleagues that he has enjoyed working with his boss. He
vowed to keep him in his heart to the end of his life for he was such a
motivating and respectful leader in his organization. As individuals people
have various reasons for working. Basically they have to lead their lives
by earning a commensurate income. However the most important thing is that
as humans they need love and affection. Great leaders will make all efforts
in injecting the feeling of belongingness among the staff. That would be a
brilliant way of retaining a staff member for a prolonged period of time.
People have many expectations from their organization which impacts morale,
employee motivation, and the quality of life.Some people work for personal
fulfillment; others work for love of what they do. Others work to
accomplish goals and to feel as if they are contributing to something
larger than themselves. The bottom line is that we all work for money and
for reasons too individual to assign similarities to all workers.If one
would ask anyone in any working place what treatment they most want at
work. They will likely top their list with the desire to be treated with
dignity and respect. In this instance it would be appropriate to look into
how appreciation is defined. Wikipedia defines appreciation or (gratitude):
“A positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has
received or will receive. According to University of California-Davis
researcher, Robert Davis, gratitude requires three conditions: a gracious
individual must behave in a way that was 1) costly to him or her, 2)
valuable to the recipient, and 3) intentionally rendered”When you express
to someone how you value his or her specific contribution you are giving
appreciation. You might ask the opinion of someone for some thoughts and
you could say something like Thank you for your excellent note. It was
short, you did it very promptly and it answered all the questions I had.*


*Appreciation can have the following implications*









*•People feel elated and it further increases their energy and
commitment.•It rewards and encourages the behaviour you want. It always
keeps them as new people •It encourages people to pay attention to, and
magnify, what already works well.•It quickly spreads, if you take the
lead, and increases co-operation and teamwork.•It is good to give and
it will cost you nothing.•There is an eventual reciprocation for
yourself if you give it a lot.How to use appreciation*

An Appreciation : What to appreciate, When and How: an Important Lesson!

(The contents extracted from a friend's mail)


One young academically excellent person went  for  an interview for a 
managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview; BUT in 
that Comapny, the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV,  that the youth's academic result was 
excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate 
research, never was there  a year he did not score. The director asked, Did 
you obtain any scholarship in school? and the youth answered no.

The director asked,  Did your father pay  your school fees?. The youth 
answered,  my father passed away when I was one year old and  it was my mother 
who paid  my school fees.

The director asked,  Where did your mother work? the youth answered, my 
mother worked as cloth cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his 
hands and the youth showed a pair of hands that was smooth and perfect to the 
director.

The director asked,  Did you ever help your mother wash  clothes before? The 
youth answered, never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more 
books, furthermore, my mother could wash clothes faster than I could

The director said, I have a  request, when you go back today, go and help to 
clean your mother's hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that the  chance of landing the job was high and  when he went 
back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hands. His mother felt strange. 
With  happiness  mixed with fear, she showed her hands to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly and his tears fell as he did that.  
It was the  first time he noticed that his mother's hands  were so wrinkled, 
and that  there were  so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so 
painful  that she  shuddered when his  mother's hands were cleaned with water.

This is the first time that the youth realized and experienced that it is this 
pair of hands that washed the clothes every day to earn him the school fees and 
that the bruises in the mother's hand were the price that the mother paid for 
his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother's hands, the youth quietly washed  
all the  remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, the mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office. The director noticed the 
tear in the youth's eye and asked:  Can you tell  what  you did and learnt 
yesterday in your house?

The youth answered,  I cleaned my mother's hands and also finished washing all 
the remaining clothes'

The director asked, Please tell me what you felt

The youth said:
Number 1, I know what  appreciation is now'. Without my mother, I would not be 
successful today.

Number 2, Now I know how to work together with my mother.  Only now do I  
realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. 
 
Number 3, I know the importance and value of family relationship.

The director said,  This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that 
can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the suffering of others 
to get things done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in 
life to be my manager. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his 
subordinates, every employee worked diligently and as a team and the company 
improved tremendously.


The Lessons from this anecdote:
A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he needs,  
develops entitlement mentality and always puts himself first. He is ignorant 
of his parents' efforts. When he starts work, he assumes every person must 
listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the suffering 
of  his employees and always blame others. These kinds of people,  may/will 
achieve good results and  may be successful for a while, but eventually would 
not feel a sense of achievement or satisfaction.  

If we happen to be this kind of (protective) parent, this is the time to ask 
the question- whether we  did/do love our kids or destroy them.

-You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn to play the 
piano, watch a big screen TV but when you are cutting grass, please let them 
experience it.

-After a meal, let them wash their plate and bowl together with their brothers 
and sisters.

-It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you 
want to love and show them the  correct way.  

-You want them to understand that no matter how rich their parent are, one day 
they will grow old, become weak and that their hair too will grow grey,.

-The most important thing is for  your kid to learn how to appreciate, 
experience and learn the effort and ability needed to work with others to get 
things done. They should also
