How to appreciate someone's work |
Introduction
It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget how
lucky we are. We get so focused on our own lives that we can miss all the great
things around us. One of the best ways to appreciate life and people is by
helping others. The more you help others, the more you realize how much there
is to appreciate about yourself and everyone else around you!
The compliments
You can get your point across with a compliment. If you want
to appreciate someone's work, give them a compliment! Be specific, sincere, and
genuine.
When writing a message or emailing someone about their work:
● Be specific. Tell us why you think what they've done is
great. You can also provide examples of how the work has helped or affected others
(if applicable).
● Be sincere. We want to know that your praise isn't just lip service—that it's coming from the heart! So let us know if there was anything specifically about their work that really impressed you (or made an impact on your life). In other words, don't just say "This is great!" Try saying "I liked it because..." The more specific the reasons why something has impacted your life, business, career, etc., the better we will understand what makes it so special for them too!
Give it a try.
You can't know if you don't try. Your skills may be rusty,
but there's absolutely no reason to think that your attempt won't be worth the
effort. Even if it doesn't turn out exactly as well as you'd hoped, there are
other ways to get what you want out of life: learn from your mistakes and use
them to improve your performance next time around.
And in the meantime, remember that failure isn't really
failure at all—it's just another step on the way to success!
Learning from their success.
One of the best ways to learn from someone else's success is
by listening closely to what they have to say, asking questions, and trying to
understand what they are doing. You can ask for their advice and try to see
things from their perspective. If you make sure that you are not just copying
them, but rather using their ideas as inspiration for your own work, then
sharing your ideas will only strengthen the relationship between the two of
you.
The fun part of a competition.
One of the reasons why competition is good is because it
challenges you to work harder and achieve more. Put another way, if you don't
feel like you're being challenged, then you'll be less likely to invest
yourself in your work.
Competition can also help motivate others around us. When we
see our friends or co-workers striving for something great, it makes us want to
do better ourselves. And when someone wins at something, that person's victory
doesn't just help them; it lifts everyone who was rooting for them along the
way!
Another reason why competition is so beneficial is that it
encourages people to work harder and smarter. Remember that time when your
friend managed to score an A+ on a tough exam? If he hadn't been in direct
competition with other students who wanted an A+, there's a chance he wouldn't
have spent as much time studying or researching ideas on how best to prepare
himself before taking the said test--which means he probably wouldn't have
gotten such high marks either!
You need to know what your thing is, or you’ll get all the
wrong ideas about how to be a good spouse, parent, colleague, or friend.
When you’re trying to figure out how to appreciate someone
else, it’s important to know what your thing is. You can’t be good at
everything—you need to know what your thing is, or you’ll get all the wrong
ideas about how to be a good spouse, parent, colleague, or friend.
Let's take an example: Let's say you're working on some kind
of team project at work and your teammate does something that helps get the job
done well. This person is clearly good at something very specific (their role
on the team) but doesn't necessarily have any other skills outside of this one
area. That doesn't mean they're bad at everything else; just that they aren't
particularly talented in other areas of life or work (maybe they're really
terrible cooks!). And even if they were great people in every way possible
besides one specific skill set (like being able to make great coffee), would
your appreciation for them depends solely on whether or not their coffee-making
abilities had improved? Or would it also depend on how supportive they were
with regards to providing feedback during meetings?
The best way to do that is by helping someone else. It’s not
always easy to see things from other people’s perspectives, but it can be very
rewarding.

Here are some ways you can help another person:
● Listen to their story with an open mind and heart.
● Give them advice on what you think might be useful for them
in the future, but only if they ask for it.
● Be a good example of how they could improve themselves,
rather than judging their work directly or indirectly (e.g., “This isn't good
enough!”).
You feel good when you make someone else feel good.
It's a cliché, but it's true: you feel good when you make
someone else feel good. You can see this in action every time you do something
for someone else, whether it's helping out a friend who needs a ride to the
airport or volunteering at your local animal shelter. When we do something kind
for another person or group of people, we experience happiness and satisfaction
from the act itself, but also from knowing that we've made their day just a
little bit better. Even if all they have to do is smile at us or say
"thank you," our efforts are rewarded with positive emotions.
When we think about volunteering ourselves as an act of
self-care, it makes sense that doing so would also be beneficial for our mental
health and well-being—and yet most people still don't associate volunteering
with wellness because they're more concerned with what they can get out of the
experience than what they can give back. But if you think about it like this:
if there was no one left on earth but yourself—and maybe some other
survivors—what would become important to keep going? What would motivate you?
The answer is probably not money; after all, what could really motivate anyone
other than love? And how much more loving could we be if everyone around us
shared our values?
Conclusion
The best part about giving someone a compliment is that it
makes you feel good. You know what they’re going through, and you want them to
know it too. When we help others, we also help ourselves, so don’t forget about
yourself when giving compliments!
