Thank you?

I haven't been updating my blog(s) much this past few months. Honestly I am sicked of making up resolutions to update them, only to break them later. I have also avoided reading other people's blog because reading them would normally induced a guilty, dissappointed-of-myself feeling afterwards.
The reasons for the lack of update, I think, is that I think too much hence procrastinate. I've read somewhere recently that the twin for perfection, is procrastination. That is not to say I aim for perfection every time I type or write, it is just that when I put effort into something, it is good to be able to feel proud of it. id est, I wish for recognition...

...which I believe most of us crave for. If you are human, chances are you're glad to receive recognition. Even my friend, who is a mawas, enjoys being praised and recognized.
Jokes aside, what led me to write about recognition is because during this few weeks of holiday in malaysia, there are a few occasions where I saw (and some, experience) dissappointment when efforts are taken for granted. When this happens, the person will normally feel dejected. On a corporation level, this will cause productivity to decrease. In personal everyday dealings, this will sometimes lead to bitterness.

Why must we be appreciative?
A friend of mine once quoted a study, where it shows that in regards to physical labour, humans' willingness to work is proportional to benefits(payment) it received. However in regards to office works, blue collar and researches, the case is different. Although initially the payment plays an important role and affects proportionally, it then begin to decrease and reaches a plateau. In other words, there is only a limit the mind can suffer for money. This limit however is raised when the person feels he is valuable and plays an important part. An example is a fictionary, but commonly heard tale of a manager, who quit his/her job.
The manager was a top player, earning big money and lucrative benefits, but his/her daily job consisted of appeasing clients and ironing out problems. Working hours are late and when the manager gets home, the family is in ruins. Children neglected turns juvenile, spouse questioning his/her whereabouts and lack of commitment, which in the end leads the person to quit the job, move the family to a more conducive place and live peacefully. This may sound like a drama but it is not very far from the reality today. The burden is so great, greater than the money can compensate.

A simple case from our daily life is the act of saying thank you. Malaysians are NOT accustomed to this courtesy. Some might see this as a situation blown out of proportion but if he/she were to travel to places where it is common to say thank you, he/she will be surprised how good it makes him/her feel to be the one at the receiving end. Sometimes a thank you makes your day.
On a higher level such as in family, common lack of recognization is prevalent. Husbands for example, have the idea that food will always appear on the table, while some wives only pout their mouth when their husbands are late to pick them up etcetera.

I don't really know whether I conveyed my point or what-not but I hope that if you get my drift, you'd try in one way or another to improve yourselves(and me, myself) to try to be more concerned about others and appreciative of their efforts. That, the act of trying to improve, is already a recognization of this writing.
To that, I bid you thank you.
