"Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times."
Steve Brunkhorst

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."
Brian Tracy

"We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness."

"Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit."
Peter Seller

"Make it a habit to tell people thank you.
To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.
Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you.
Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it."
Ralph Marston

Hi MM, thanks for the kind comments.. .

Please do let me share the following with you. It is so appropriate

=============================

What is it that people need today?

These are three things:
1) A heart pure and white like the moon,
2) speech soft and sweet like butter,
3) a face that is loving and kind.

Today, on the contrary, people are hardhearted... There is harshness in speech, and no softness in their hearts.

Fill your hearts with compassion. Let your speech be sweet and truthful. You will then be truly human.

- Divine Discourse, May 15, 1997.

I wonder if this is words of wisdom...from la papillion.

Someone asked me why my nickname is la papillion. The simple (and truthful) answer is that it was from a french movie by the same name and I love the sound of it, so I adopted it.

But don't we love a narrative to explain 'rationally'? Here's on hindsight:

La papillion is french for butterfly. The life cycle of a butterfly consists of different stages, cumulating to a metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly in the last stage. Hence, la papillion represents my metamorphosis from someone who didn't know a thing about stock market to a someone who's been there, suffered, and still there. Or from my big change from a chartist to a fundamentalist (whatever you call it), or a newbie to a pro. It's all part of the bigger cycle of life.

I did a quick study on avatar names before, do check it out if you're interested:

A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.
- Earl Nightingale

A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
- Unknown Author

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere. The pessimist sees only the red light. But the truly wise person is color blind.

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you thing about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
- Norman Vincent Peale

Attitude determines altitude.
