Appreciation

Appreciation is a dying art. We are starting to take things for granted and expecting far too much.

In order to appreciate something, it is important to ask where we would be without it. How much harder would things be?

We have never had it so good. We are the most fortunate people to have ever lived. Technology and transport have greatly simplified our lives.

If we considered that 100 years ago, a simple journey would have been a grand voyage. The simple act of cooking, keeping warm and having light involved more than turning a switch or a microwave on.

The world was confined to a very small radius and to encounter a foreigner would have been a rare event.

Take some time to appreciate all that you have. Look back at how easy it has made your life today.

As one generation passes onto another one, its sole purpose is to make life easier for their children. Take some time to value the sacrifices and innovations that have made our lives so wonderful to live!

There is no greater feeling in life than when one realises just how much they have to be grateful for. In this book, celebrities, intellectuals, scholars, athletes and general individuals, all share what they value most. This is a book of humility, a tribute to life. It teaches us that even the smallest things in life can make us feel completely satisfied and content. It is worth keeping by your side and visiting each time you feel overwhelmed and cannot find anything to appreciate.
