I have never
seen people who could do real
work except under the stimulus of
encouragement and enthusiasm and the
approval of the people
for whom they
are working.
B.C. Forbes |

Giving
encouragement to others is a most welcome gift,
for the results of it are
lifted spirits, increased self-worth, and a hopeful future.

Correction
does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure
is as the sun after a shower.
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
Our workaday lives are filled with opportunities to bless
others.
The power of a single glance or an encouraging smile must never be
underestimated.

| Whether
or not we realize it each of us has within the ability to set some
kind of example for people. Knowing this, would you rather
be the one known for being the one who encouraged others, or the
one who inadvertently discouraged those around you?

So often we think that to be encouragers we have
to produce
great words of wisdom when, in fact, a few simple syllables
of sympathy and an arm around the shoulder can
often provide much needed comfort.

Something
I realized a few years ago in one of those "Of course--I should have
realized that all along!" moments is that encouragement is absolutely
free. It doesn't
cost me a cent to give it out, but its payoff is incredible. A
brighter smile, improved
performance on any sort of task, much more enjoyment in doing something--I
see these
in people constantly when I or someone else encourages them. I often
read stories by
adults who have succeeded in life largely in part because just one person
saw their
potential and encouraged them when they were younger, and they have never
forgotten those people or their words. Wouldn't you love to feel
that something
like that would be possible with you as the remembered person? I
know
that I would, but unless I plant the seeds today, that sort
of harvest will never come to pass.

There are high spots in
all of our lives and most of them have
come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't
care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman
may be, each hungers for applause.
George M. Adams

The
finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no
one gets
the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If
everyone
received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most
everyone
would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the
wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison,
Schweitzer,
Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.

The truth is that
everything that can be accomplished
by showing a person when he's wrong, ten times as much
can be accomplished by showing him where he is right.
The reason we don't do it so often is that it's more
fun to throw a rock through a window
than to put in a pane of glass.
Robert T. Allen |

Those who are
lifting the world upward and onward
are those who encourage more than criticize.

Note how
good you feel after you have encouraged
someone else. No other argument is necessary to suggest that
one never miss the opportunity to give encouragement.

Most
of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world
knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise
or encouragement--and we will make the goal.
