The art of appreciation!
- Swapna Jandhyala

Appreciating others is one of the skills that has to be learnt if we don't, if we do, well and good' People who don't appreciate think like: 1. vellu bagupadithe naakenti? 2. naakenti asalu? 3. Y do I care if he/she is successful, what do I get by applauding and praising? But imagine, when U attain success, u feel very happy, u praise urself and congratulate urself, is that all? What if somebody other than U praised u for what u did? Wouldn't that be special than praising urself? You all might be thinking, 'y is she giving me lecture about appreciation?', 'dont I already appreciate?', well, I want to tell u all, that I was one of those people whom I described who didnt appreciate others when its not concerned with me. I felt that I dont want to make them happy by appreciating. But I am not that person ne more, I CHANGED. Since the time I started appreciating, I have been really happy! Whenever u appreciate, look in the 'EYES' of the person, look at how happy he/she is. That makes U happy too. Infact, when ppl appreciate me, I feel very full and complete. There were days when I couldnt eat that night as my stomach was very full! Once we had singing competitions and there was this really bad singer, who was not capable of good singing, but still thought of giving a shot, I appreciated her, 'meeru baaga paadaru', she knew that she was awful, but atleast she tried. Everybody is not good at everything, so if they are 50% good, appreciate for 50% as its better than 0%. Whenever a person or something is bad, most of the times, its the words that make it bad. For example, if your friend or a co-worker got a haircut, then they ask you how is it, then don't say, 'Your haircut is the worst cut I've ever seen' Instead say, 'Ur previous haircut was better than this one!', atleast, that adds a touch of appreciation and wouldn't ruin the moods of that person.
