A little word goes a long way

I received a favorable comment from my boss on a document which I posted on a mailing list in our company.

I never thought the boss would make that kind of comments to me in the mailing list. (He would rarely make such comments to anybody.) That's why I felt pleased to read that comment.

Most of us want recognition of what we've done properly and words of appreciation. It seems trivial to make a comment on what someone has done, but it carries great weight for them.

I'll keep that in mind and try to make favorable comments to others as I've got.
