While waiting for breakfast at Chik-Fil-A this morning, the hefty lady in front of me took two extra minutes to explain that she's getting breakfast for her employees because they would not think she's a good boss if she doesn't do it. She ordered only two breakfast sandwiches.
A daughter helps her mom to obtain a large loan to fix up a tear-down while none of her siblings is willing to because the house had been declared as "totally infested with termite". By entering this venture with her mom, she becomes the "only daughter that helps her mom".
A mom recites to her son her list of chores for the day and for the week. She wants her son to know how busy she is and how dedicated she is to this family.
All of us do it. All of us brightens up a bit when it happens to us...acknowledgement. But how far would you go to get it? Would you want it enough to prepare a meal, go into massive debt, or even lying to get it?
What is amazing is that all of the people above can have acknowledgement anytime they want and anywhere they need it. They need only to look in the mirror and be satisfied of what they see.
