I think we forget to thank people in our everyday lives. I guess its time to get to this habit and in the long run make it a virtue. Thank you for posting this.

I make it a habit to thank the taxi driver for getting me home safe or the waitress for serving my food. I think a little kindness can go along long way.

I do notice that acknowledgement for who they are is more personal and means much more to the people I give it to than an award from our recognition program. Thanks!

It's so easy to make the mistake of thinking that recognition is acknowledgement and then not understand when the recipient feels unappreciated. It's even easier to not give either under the guise of being too busy! Thank you for these very practical tools that can be used everyday! Great article and a great reminder to us all!
