I AM PROUD OF YOU!
How does it feel when your father, mother, significant other, or anyone special in your life says these 5 words to you!
See how powerfully this simple sentence affects you? The same is true for others, so why not use it more often? One of the greatest gifts you can give people is to show appreciation, to compliment them and to tell them what they did was great. That is an important way to give support, which often is all they need to keep them on the path they have chosen. But it only works if you honestly mean what you say.
Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I may not forget you.
- William Arthur
We all appreciate to be told that what we are doing is good. Why not give it to others freely? All we have to do is think more about the other person than about ourselves. But be careful. What I am talking about is genuine appreciation – not that empty smile accompanied by empty words. Dishonesty is detected immediately. Compliments must be genuine or they are better left unsaid.
That is all for you now – back to work.
