We all love to be appreciated, but is it always worth it? Should you help everyone with what you think they need, even if they never asked? They might certainly not appreciate you for that. There is no need to be appreciated by everyone, and it is impossible to boot!
Don't try to get everyone on your side, but instead give them food for thought even if you can't agree with them. Don't wait around to see what they do with it, because that is out of your control anyway. If it turned out to be important for them, they will use it, but the outcome is none of your concern.
