Have you taken time to review good deeds people do for you, do you feel what they've done deserves your appreciation? Do you remember to appreciate the teacher who taught you everything you needed to know as a child, for once have you deem it fit to tell your parents, relatives, mentors loved ones, friends and those who came to your rescue at one point or the other **Thank you**? http://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/joey-chandler-clapping-friends-animation.gif [credit](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwi_5oCp3oTWAhWEmbQKHXwIB0wQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstarecat.com%2Fjoey-chandler-clapping-friends-gif-animation%2F&psig=AFQjCNHV8mBxBNygd6V35_dirkrcDehJnQ&ust=1504381019121231) >Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice. - Joseph B. Wirthlin There is something I always do, and that's appreciation. I'm so used to telling people "thank you" that even when I render help I still say **thank you** because it makes me fill fulfilled and full of joy. In life, you can not journey alone, there are people who would be of help and those you would have the opportunity to render assistance to in one or the other. When you do either of the both, it is advisable to show gratitude. >“Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.” - Roy T. Bennett. My journey on steemit has been fun and filled with series of experiences. I have met so many great personalities, people who are willing to help you. In fact, steemians are willing to help as they have a big heart. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5RDNalDw34U/maxresdefault.jpg [credit](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjQ1PCz34TWAhUJZ1AKHWRBAiUQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5RDNalDw34U&psig=AFQjCNElOWKM3qeHrFvjDiXaD8tNADpa4A&ust=1504381339739723) Let me use this opportunity to say a big thank you to the steemit community in general, not forgetting wonderful teachers and mentors such as @fisteganos, @kusknee, @papa-pepper, @someguy123, @infovore, @neoxian @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst, @maryfavour, @surpassinggoogle @aggroed and other great steemians, these people have helped me grow immensely. https://media.giphy.com/media/CIEnt3Z9wDkWY/giphy.gif [credit](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwibxObb3YTWAhXFYVAKHTS0D0YQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fgifs%2Fthank-you-CIEnt3Z9wDkWY&psig=AFQjCNH3NgOJB9r-x4EVxhhuV23083FrDw&ust=1504380656632922) I want to also appreciate the Nigerian community in general from @oluwoleolaide, @epikcoin, @barrister-batman, @mrapkan @eurogee, @gloglo, @smyle @ejemai and others I can not mention so I would not be writing a 10,000-word post.

The badges are beautiful having the Nigerian flag. @jodipamungkas Thank you. Not forgetting, I got a badge from a group of steemians in LAUTECH, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria. The badge was designed by a new steemian who just signed up to steemit. His name is @royalfinest. I'm so happy the Nigerian community is growing and I want to say a big thank you. Do you say "thank you", to people? Maybe you should start saying that. ___ ![fancy-line-divider.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdaq4zpeTScdNrsvK2YrjXjXj9V9ZxPsvVANTiS4AoT3J/fancy-line-divider.jpg) Thanks to @son-of-satire for the generic footer ![GENERIC.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcGTgE9ztQ7QmWESyE7uVqLrUqfbAa1fsTCod6dmsFYjP/GENERIC.gif) Thanks to @elyaque for my first badge ![Bildschirmfoto 2017-06-13 um 16.44.32.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTcNTBXWiEJdrGR5goscq8zpecSkgzLjxEnSCmoPgP1SK/Bildschirmfoto%202017-06-13%20um%2016.44.32.png) ![small-4605-5908eb3da2bfa.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS184UAbg2f2zYtsn94jL2wbN6i1w2KpaxcX8Qo1jQTRZ/small-4605-5908eb3da2bfa.png) Nigerian community badge by @jodipamungkas ![PACKET CURATOR NIGERIAN @gbenga.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfUvbcRBZp28md2r5YzCiWyKtiGxKYVinobx4xrXK65Sk/PACKET%20CURATOR%20NIGERIAN%20%40gbenga.png) Badge by @royalfinest ![gbenga badge from @royalfinest.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXtBHQarz5XXPUnM3tPV4LABzBr3ohp9oXsSadFvVF7Ff/gbenga%20badge%20from%20%40royalfinest.jpeg)
