Stingy with Praises?

When is the last time you praised someone?

I believe a lot of you are scratching your head, thinking hard, trying to come up with one.

Most people are very stingy with their praises.

When you think about it, a simple praise just takes you less than 30 seconds. It may just be a short moment of your busy time, and yet, it could make the day for someone else. I mean you would feel great too if you receive a praise from someone, won't you?

The type of praises I refer to are those honest and sincere praise, and not those sweet honey talks.

When someone did something well, acknowledge them and praise them. It would made them feel good about themselves and likewise you would too. Furthermore, it doesn't cause you any $$ or pain. So, why not?


My student once told me that his teacher only knows how to scold and embarrass them. This made them totally shut off from the lessons and homeworks, which made the teacher even more angry and came up with more scoldings and punishments. And, the cycle just continues. If the teacher had changed her teaching methods to punish and praise the students at the right time, I believe she will gain more respect from her students and they will then be able to benefit from her teachings.



Did you see that the tree is being "hugged" by the light?
