Well we all have difficulties in most of the things we do and especially day to day, something we work very had and nothing seems to go right other days we just fly by and things just click into place. Both big and small triumphs are achieved everyday some people achieve them easier than others. I think the most important thing is motivation and encouragement.

For example myself and my colleagues achieve great triumphs almost every week at our work (we work in marketing – in a tough competitive environment) but sometimes they go unnoticed, no one acknowledges our small victories and it can seem a bit disheartening with a why bother feeling but when people do notice and we receive the praise for our hard work we are much more motivated.

This is true for all tasks and challenges, be it at work or personal either by praising yourself with a small reward or receiving praise from your peers, this praise helps to motivate and encourage you to achieve greater things. But I don’t mean praise in a self-centred greedy I am the best kind of way I just mean a small token of appreciation for your achievement or triumph – in other words to get the best out of your self and others then I recommend acknowledging achievement and triumphs no matter how big or small.
