I’m a fan of giving praise and credit where they’re due.  Some don’t follow this practice.  It’s as if their appreciation needs to kept secret.  I’ve never understood this mentality.  To me, it seems appropriate to let someone know when you appreciate or have been inspired by them.

None of us manages to navigate our way through the complexities of life without a little help or inspiration from time to time.  As such, I believe it’s appropriate and demonstrates respect when we acknowledge those who have helped smooth our path.  Doing so costs us nothing and encourages folks to want to reach out, set a better example, help others and inspire them.  So why not show your appreciation with a smile, nod, gesture or kind word?
