Appreciation's nice...but it's only meaningful when it's genuine. I used to have this one teacher back in high school who was the nicest person, said the nicest things about everyone...and I mean, EVERYONE. I never heard her say anything mean about anyone...not even people who I felt deserved to be thwacked on the head 😈 The trouble with people like that is even when she said something nice/appreciative about me or something I had done, I would never know whether it was because she truly liked what I had done, or whether she was just being her nice self and saying nice things because that is what she does. And by saying the same nice things about everyone else, she kinda took the pride of ownership of the compliment away from me (yes, yes, my pride is easily wounded). I would rather be appreciated less often, but be genuinely appreciated, from the heart.

Absolutely agreed! nice post GT!! genuinely appreciate this and other responses 😳

Raj.. when you are a child , you need all the encouragement you can get. After all you are performing (even in studies) for appreciation from elders.

For kids it depends if one raising a performer or a learner 😳 after all result sheet does the talking or trips to games arcade.

But when adult, one should follow Karam kar, fal ki icchaa mat kar kinda mantra provided one does the right thing with full conviction. Success is measured in how many good relationships one has with others and with having enough money to provide a comfortable life for oneself and sometimes others.😊

Now thats the point rightly picked👏... fal nah bhi milley agar loved one's or someone appreciates the effort...that should be reason enough for that person to continue doing karam lolss fall to banta hi hai ..lolssss Being successfull..taking care of everyone around and no one acknowledges is kind of rukha/sukha success...isn't it?

Not really. Look at it from teachers point of view. Not every student in class is going to become a brilliant student or appreciate teachers efforts. When one is in position to provide assistance in any way, one just does it and keeps on doing despite ignorance from others. 😊 Your argument about living for others is true to a point of helping others but bliss is reaching a stage in life where your actions do not depend on non-actions by others.😛 This is true Nirvana imo.
