As regards the common folk, a craving for recognition makes them\nsport the best clothes, possess rare articles and adopt the latest fashion\nfeatures. Women want their clothes, housekeeping, cooking and beauty to be\nrecognised and appreciated. Even young children demand recognition. Although\nIndia formally abolished the use of titles, it still provides for honours and\nawards such as Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri to\nsatisfy this craving on the part of its citizens. If you take the industry, an\nincrease in pay or income has no attraction for many in the higher and\nmiddle-income brackets. What they desire is the opportunity to distinguish\nthemselves and, thus, obtain recognition and appreciation. You want to top the\nIAS list or other competitive examinations, the sportsmen and women wish to establish national and world\nrecords all for the same purpose\u2014to feel great and important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although all may feel thirsty and hungry, each may have his or her\nown preference or choice in selecting the drinks and foods from the varieties\nthat are available. Some may prefer cold water, others soft drinks, another\ngroup buttermilk. You have, therefore, to find out the choice of each\nindividual and offer him or her the right item. In other words, you must take\ninterest in the other person, study and observe him and learn about his strong\npoints, achievements and subjects of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have patience and if you train yourself to become an\ninteresting and enthusiastic listener, you will get to know all the details,\nfirst hand from the other person himself. If not, you can get to know about\nthem through their friends, associates, servants, relations and so forth. In\ncase you happen to draw a blank there also, then keep your eyes and ears open\nand observe closely. You will always find something to appreciate in any\nindividual, something to favourably comment upon and it will give you the\nopening. It may be the high position he occupies, it may be the arrangement of\nhis office, his appearance or grooming, his dress, his power of expression, his\nability to decide, his ready smile, his expensive watch, his beautiful tie, his\ntaste in colours, his handwriting, his height, his figure and so on. Each\nindividual excels in some field or the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each individual has his own likes and dislikes. You can always find\nout the specific thing that could be admired and appreciated. Be always on the\nlookout to shower sincere and honest appreciation on others and you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
will see that each individual\nprovides hundreds of opportunities. At <\/p>\n\n\n\n
the same time, control your desire for self-appreciation. You will\nfind there is something about the paper boy, the milkman, the cook, your wife,\nchildren, friends, typist, colleague, boss, hotel server, post office clerk,\nfor that matter with any and every individual you come across during the day;\nthere is something to appreciate, admire, speak highly which would make him or\nher feel happy and important. This admiration <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and appreciation has to be sincere. If not, it will be mere flattery\nand a sensible person always tries to\navoid a flatterer. Nobody wants counterfeits. You are likely to land into\ntrouble if you attempt to pass on counterfeits. Your appreciation has to be\nreal and honest to evoke the desired response from the other individual and\nquench his thirst for importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you honestly admire and appreciate, be liberal and lavish. One\nof the most successful motivators and leaders of men, Charles Shwab, who was\npaid million dollars a year about three to four decades ago, observes that the\nway to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.\nTo quote him, \u201cIf I like anything I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in\nmy praise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
