HT1601 - The Most Valuable Applause

I suppose to one degree or another that all of us would like to have our work appreciated. Perhaps it's important to ask, "Appreciate it by whom?" It may be trite for me to say so, but I think the most important audience is ourself. Sure, I'd like others to appreciate my work, but if I don't like it, it won't be satisfying for very long. Again, Shakespeare had it right: To thine own self be true. But, liking our own work is a greater challenge than it might seem at first consideration.
