A pleasant day fellow mylotters,
In the company where I worked, I usually say thank you towards to my colleague. No matter how or what favor I asked for, I usually say this since they have help me and assisted me in the task that I am working for. For this reason, my boss is now also practicing this, he now know how to say "thank you" towards others. Especially when all of his commands has been granted and served well.
Hence, due to the changes that my boss is showing, I realized that not all people show and express their appreciation voluntarilly. Thus, it somehow needs an example to have an idea that it is a good virtue. And indeed, I admire those people who opens their door in changes especially if they are doing this for good. Since, it will help to uplift others personality and will build confidence in oneself.
How about you, do you also show appreciation towards others? How do you express that you appreciated his or her kindness?

A simple thank you will do, but this must be done with a sweet smile and establishing an eye to eye contact with the person he/she is talking to.
Must be expressed sincerely, for the other person will feel if it was just said
for the sake of saying it.
It can be expressed by simple gestures, like a making a coffee or giving some flowers, or giving a lunch treat.
But of course the most cheapest way of all , is just saying thank you and that's what i usually do.

That is a sweet gesture. You are one of a kind. Not all people do that kind of attitude. As you are not just saying it, you are expressing it that much with all your effort and time.

I do the same saying “thank you” and appreciating their help, make them feel better and happy. When ever somebody helps me or does a good job, I always make sure everybody knows this. But I don’t help a person who boost their own deeds. My boss doesn’t do that however they just do one on one and give feedback. They don’t talk to us unless they have work to be get done. Hope our boss learn from your boss.

mostly, i simply say "thank you" to people who gives and ask nothing in return. in due time, i would do the same thing for them without hesitation. i like people who helps because they wanted to. too bad i only know some currently..

A pleasant day to you as well. The art of appreciating and expressing gratitude is not lost on me. I have trained my daughter likewise to express a heartfelt "thanks" when somebody has shown her kindness or favors. These small tokens of reciprocation on kindness show both benefits the giver and the recipient as well. It helps me in acquiring more friends since they appreciate that fact that they are not overlook when they show kindness.

I usually say thank you to whoever it should be given. However, there are some certain type of persons whom i am ashamed of saying thank you. Instead, i do some nice tasks for them which in turn they truly appreciate. Or sometimes, i give them little gifts or tokens. By that way they know i am truly thankful to them.
My husband is one of those people who don't know how to say thank you. However, you will know that he is thanking you by being so kind and helpful to you.
I think each and every one has their own way of saying thank you and it depends on to whom they are addressing such thank you, to.

Actually the ways of expressing my appreciation are different with different people. I jus say 'you are doing a great thing' to my wife and some friends.
But for my children, I say "Great thing, I think that you can do even better and I would be happier if you do this thing...!". This not only gives them motivations but also prepares for new challanges which they will have to face in future.
If someone not know to me has done good thing and I want to appreciate then I would say "How nicely you have done it...! I do not think that anybody else could have done it any better."

I feel that to say thank you for anything that someone does for you is the least you can do. I have seen many people that do not thank their maids or employees for a job done with care. It´s their loss mainly. All of us need a feedback to do things better.
An added smile helps a lot too. It opens all kinds of doors even if you don´t mean it. Body language is part of it.
