Richard DuVoss, one of the co-founders of the Amway Corporation, told how he purposely rose early one morning to thank his garbage man for his services. Mr. DuVoss did so because the man always was so punctual (on time), careful, and quiet. The fellow was so shocked that he drove off without saying a word. Mr. DuVoss rose early to meet the same garbage man for three mornings before he got a response. Finally, the man answered, “In 12 years nobody ever told me they appreciated what I do. You are the first person ever to thank me.”
Giving appreciation and sharing ourselves from a loving heart, with no need to get anything back, will always feel wonderful and refreshing to us and to others. Appreciation is a true gift. It comes from the heart and is offered spontaneously(自发地). Don't we all love to be appreciated? Above all kids need a lot of appreciation. A.little time, attention and encouragement from the one we love can lift our spirits and help us cope with life.
Appreciating others is a skill that anyone can learn It should be done from our heart and one should have a broad heart to accept appreciation too.
