Getting a 'thank you' is just as nice as getting a paycheck. The only problem is that the thank you's don't pay rent. We should do things not because we want recognition but because we are either passionate about them or because it is the right thing to do. Regards! I agree.

I do have perfectionist tendencies but I'm getting better at valuing what I do even it is not nearly perfect. I also really liked the part at the end about thanking someone who compliments / recognizes you. In my experiences, not only does this make the person recognizing you feel good, it makes the person being complimented feel an extra boost of accomplishment and utility.

I am practicing celebrating the good thing (and only the good things) with everyone I come in contact with. Even when someone blazes a shot past me and I lose the point in a "big boy" tennis game I say "great shot". Helping others have higher thoughts of themselves through our sincere compliments is a good way to feel better vibrations about ourselves as well. Keep up the good work providing this is very needed information. Thanks again, Rick Hi David,
