If you have taken Principles of Accounts in secondary school, or if you just have this word in your vocabulary, you will probably know what this word means. According to Dictionary.com, it means "to lessen the value or price of" something. This word "something" didn't appear in the definition, so i wrote it outside the quotation. But, isn't something way too general? Actually, no, it is not, because it is supposed to be like this. I am going to talk about three main things that depreciate, and you'll see what they are in the following paragraphs.

The first thing i want to talk about is objects. We all know that objects depreciate. They lose their value. Why? It is because they deteriorate seconds after seconds, hours after hours, days after days, months after months, years after years. And then one day, they get fed up and stop working. I'm actually thinking about my house the washing machine. It spoiled. So did the air conditioner. So did the water heater. So did the pipe under the kitchen basin. But somehow my dad managed to fix the air con and the pipe. The water heater and washing machine cannot be fixed. Anyway, the water heater case is the worst. It is actually connected to the wall, but it did not just spoil. It rusted a lot and fell down from the wall, crashing onto the ground and breaking into pieces. It was really dangerous. But, not only machines spoil; objects containing part of your memory depreciates too. Appreciate every moment you share with these precious things. They may "lose it" any moment, so you have to make sure that you don't regret your time spent on these things.

The second thing i want to talk about is time. And by saying "Time depreciates", you can think up the rest on your own. We are contantly losing time. So what should we do? Spend every single minute wisely? But, what does wisely mean? We cannot lose a single second so we must think about the important project while waiting for the bus? We cannot lose a single second so we must discuss about important things every moment? No. We must enjoy every second. This is the only counter to the depreciation of time.

The last thing i want to talk about it relationship. Unlike objects and time, relationship does not depreciate. It is special. You don't hate the people more and more everyday. I am talking about relationship with people you are close to. You can fight, quarrel, disappoint one another and ignore each other, but the love you felt for each other is genuine. It is something that will never lose its value. In fact, i should say "Love does not depreciate". Enjoy every moment you spend with people you love. Their physical form may depreciate, but who they truly are never. Appreciate them. Don't force yourself to hate.

Because everything except relationships and love depreciate, we must appreciate and use fully everything that we have. Even though relationship don't depreciate, we must still appreciate them fully. This is for appreciation brings about happiness. Of course, easier said than done, but let's just try out best to stay happy. Don't destroy all your last hopes; gather them.

Edited (added on)
I just noticed. Appreciation is the antonym of depreciation. Makes sense.
