What is appreciation? Below is the definition from dictionary.com -- Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source - Share This ap·pre·ci·a·tion Audio Help /əˌpriʃiˈeɪʃən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-pree-shee-ey-shuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. gratitude; thankful recognition: They showed their appreciation by giving him a gold watch. 2. the act of estimating the qualities of things and giving them their proper value. 3. clear perception or recognition, esp. of aesthetic quality: a course in art appreciation. 4. an increase or rise in the value of property, goods, etc. 5. critical notice; evaluation; opinion, as of a situation, person, etc. 6. a critique or written evaluation, esp. when favorable.

 

What slide caught your attention? -- (for me) -- there were a few -- one being the number of people who have a computer, internet capability and how 6 people controlled the wealth.

 

I appreciate and am very thankful for my children, health, relationships with people, and a roof over my head.

Show your gratitude by telling the people you appreciate them. Don't be shy!  Write a note and send it by mail-- one of the lost traditions of the modern world.

Isn't it amazing that some people never feel fortunate no matter what they have while others do who have REAL problems and issues?  I am grateful for every single day....

Aziz, it is so true how we don't appreciate things that have been given to us here in the modern world. We get worried about the where the next commission check will come from......kinda crazy huh.

I guess your comfort zone is what is around you.  I certainly begs the question, are we a world people or a United States people.  Base on the film we must get involved in the world!

 

Great Post!

I think the world goes by too fast and more should feel thanks for what they have been given!  It sad that some never experience a thankful heart.  Well said.
