Show Some Love

To start off, I don’t mean romantic love – I mean showing love. If someone does something good, worthy of praise, the best option is to show them love and appreciation for what they do. However, this “love movement” is almost entirely lost in some groups – not with the purpose to offend, but because it’s simply overlooked. People tend to under-appreciate the workings of other people; it’s just human nature.

But, we can work to make things better, to show people appreciation, to show that what they do matters and dramatically and dynamically affects you as a person. It’s as simple as a RT on Twitter, comment on Facebook, or a short e-mail. People are fueled by praise and recognition, humble or not. People that are shown love will always produce better work, and I don’t think I need to provide droves of numbers and data to prove that.

RTs, tweets in general, and other public comments (I believe) will yield greater results in attitude and overall atmosphere. Not only will people feel a greater pride in the work you are showing love for, but others on the outside will have the opportunity to see that these people are worthy of their attention.

So, today, I challenge you: if you see someone doing great work, show them some love. Tweets, RTs, Facebook comments, e-mails, whatever; if they are doing a great job, make it known. Show some love.
