Giving and accepting gratitude

1. Saying 'thank you and well done' demonstrates your appreciation. It raises your self-confidence and that of the person you're thanking.

2. It builds loyalty, while lack of recognition builds indifference.

3. When someone thanks you, accept his or her gratitude with good grace. Put it in the bank and watch your confidence grow.
