About This Quote

When you are struggling to do something, it can be easy to forget how hard it is for others to do the same thing. You may even feel as though your abilities are not being fully appreciated by those around you. But a much better attitude is this: It’s not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs. That’s right—you should take the time to thank the people who genuinely appreciate all that you do. This will make you more confident in yourself, and it will make your relationships with others more genuine.
