Why is it that we love appreciation so much and not the criticism? While the fact is that criticism makes us work much more harder that appreciation. More importantly, it is the impact on the confidence level that criticism/appreciation has which matters the most.
The salary being credited to our account wont bring that inner joy in us which a small piece of appreciation at work place could brings. We have such an appetite for appreciation. We are brought up in that manner. Remember the time when we used to jump with joy on getting a star by the teacher in our school copy. And then we tried to get mor and more of those stars.
Our hunger for appreciation increases as we grow up but the appreciation on the other hand starts decreasing. We are not pampered on becoming adults yet we just love being pampered.
However, appreciation would actually loose its value had criticism not been there. There should be a perfect balance of both. We should rather work on our critics more frequently to gather more of appreciation. Even the movie stars, while accepting an award do make it a point to thank their critics who helped them work on their weaknesses.
