We all yearn for appreciations in whatever we do - a regular chore, a distinctive task or rendering a help to someone.

Three ways to manage Appreciations are:
- Classify Appreciation and Flattery separately: Flattery is a cheap form of appreciating someone. You would come across people in life who would flatter you with personal aim in mind and ones who genuinely appreciate your efforts. Recognise the difference between these two kinds. A light nod on flattery and a firm handshake on appreciation will set the person passing on one of the two gestures, right in place.
- Accept without shying away: I have seen people shying away from receiving appreciation they truly deserved and worked hard for. Appreciations help us complete the cycle of growth. The cycle of growth comprises of 'Do - Receive - Give - Do'. Receiving appreciation will only help you perform better and thank back the society for the trust they showered on you.
- Acknowledge the appreciation: A mere smile is not enough! It puts your appreciator in dilemma of whether something wrong was said. Acknowledge the appreciation with an open heart and mind. Give a big broad smile, reach out your hand and say 'Thank You'.
So the next time, when someone says, ‘Wow, you did very well in that meet!’ – Notice your reaction !
