The TRUE STORY of the Power of Appreciation!

This is a true story of the power of appreciation.

It all started with a brave request: a wife asked her husband to list six things he believed she could do to become a better wife.  He was surprised by such a request and confided to a friend, "Honestly, it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her--she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me--but I didn't.  I said to her, "Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning."

The next morning the man got up very early and called the florist and had them send six red roses to his wife with a note saying "I can't think of six things I'd like you to change. I love you the way you are."

When he arrived home that evening his wife greeted him with a big kiss at the door. The man was extremely glad he had not criticized her even though she had asked him to!

The next week, one of his wife's friends went out of her way to tell him what a great thing he had done for his wife, it was then that the man realized the power of appreciation!

APPRECIATION GETS RESULTS WHERE CRITICISM AND RIDICULE FAIL!
