Why we never appreciate all achievements of someone while she/he is still alive?

It is just because when we get somethings near us or some loving people with us we actually dont care. because we tend to tkae them for granted as we have already got them. but when time comes for them to leave us inspite of their trying for us to get our love and failed.. then after some time we start missing their company and teir care.. and that is the time when we regret because we did not care for them wen they were with us,,

well, that's true my friend... we only see our achievements in our lives but not with others.. we should learn to see every achievements of others..

I don't think you can really say "never" on this. Obviously some people are appreciated before their deaths. But many aren't. It is kind of odd but some people just seem to be born before their time, to use a stupid old cliche to describe this phenomenon.

We do appreciate it, but we are not more vocal about it. In truth, a persons worth can only be sum total when he is gone. From there we begun to realized that he is indeed a good and unique soul that is worth for our appreciations. That's the way life goes.

For your first discussion, I'm not sure that is always the case. For example, Francis Magalona has won some awards from music award giving bodies - that is a big recognition to what he has done. He is also considered as the "Master Rapper" and he received that distinction long before he got sick. Persons who are exceptionally good in their respective fields are often recognized by their peers or by the institution where they belong through awards and recognitions. As private individuals, I'm sure they are also rewarded by the respect their family and acquaintances give them. As for your assumption that we often missed to know the achievements of a certain person until he/she passed away, this happens, partially because we never took interest on a person until he/she is being publicized for something. But if you are in the same industry, for sure you will now who are the best of the best in that field.

hello...it happens always. i also curious about this question for a long time. most of the regarded poest . artist, writter all life are poor as poor can be, but their works getting to hot once they passed away, sorts of person became fond of their works and buy it, but these never appear when they are alive...ah..what a strange it is.
