Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.

How true this quote is...
I feel it can change a person day and make it worthwhile with the "Three magical A's: Appreciate, Acknowledge, Accept..

Recently I had been to Hyderabad. One of the days I was there my niece and myself, went for a small shopping. It was the peak hours of shopping for everyone, being a Sunday. We walked into a shop and went to the first floor, where salwar sets and materials were kept, where there was just one lady as a sales woman. We went about seriously selecting a set, meanwhile the lady came and helped us with the materials. 

She was busy running between the customers. we selected our material and waited for the sale woman to be free. She finished her job with some customers and came to us with an apology for making us wait. She was very patient and full of smiles. She took us to the second floor to select the  materials and the duppattas. As we were walking upstairs we realized how tired and tanned the lady was, still giving every customer a broad smile.

She helped us with our selection and we made our way down to make the payment. My niece told her that she was very patient and helpful to us. We also thanked her for her services. After paying the bill, my niece told the shop owner that he had a wonderful sales woman, who was always smiling and willing to help. Not that the words of praise was going to get her a salary hike or something. But the owner would at least think of it and feel happy. But for that lady, that would have made her day. We never think of it when we ask them to take out so many things. A word of appreciation for their services would surely make them happy at least, feeling that someone has had the heart to notice it.

So is it with anyone else. Learn to appreciate, acknowledge someone's work and accept that  it is a good one by giving credit to that person. We don't lose anything by doing so.
