Appreciation.

I was walking down my old school corridor a few days back. Memories slapped my face, embraced me, and tickled me. I felt so nostalgic. But one memory that particularly rules my cerebellum is when I did all of holiday homework the first time. All the binding, drawing, imagination, coloring, sticking etc, by myself in grade 5. I submitted my homework in hopes of it being displayed in the eminent workers section. It didn't. I wasn't sad until I came to know that those home works were displayed which were made by the students' parents and trainers and not by their own hard work. It broke my heart that my hard work was not appreciated. Though, throughout the years I have been classed as the top and eminent workers of the whole school, I have learnt a lesson. Give me the opportunity to explain it to you, by my own eyes.

See the road on which you walked, it may have potholes but was made by hard toil under the sun in sweat and heat. See the house you are sitting in, it might be smaller than the Ambani’s but it is a result of a lot of expenditure and sweat. See the unfathomable structure hanging in your aunt’s room made by her daughter which looks like a rodent, it was her daughter’s first art project which she made for mother’s day with a lot of peace and love. See the Taj Mahal, it might be going yellow for now, but it is a masterpiece done by workers. See the burgers you are eating right now, they might not taste good, but they are a source of income for someone.  See the window panes in your neighbor’s home, they might not be that beautiful but they are a work of precision by the maker.
See yourself, you might not be good in your own eyes but you sure are someone’s apple of their eye and the God’s own original masterpiece, not only you but everyone around you for that matter.
Learn to appreciate the hard work and efforts put into making something rather than seeing the exterior and judging it. When you APPRECIATE the interior, life has a new depth and meaning. So go, tell others how good they are and appreciate them!
