The Power of Praise

As we go through our daily life it is amazing how many times we have an opportunity to give another praise but do not.  Whether it be your friend, your special someone, your children or even a coworker or stranger, everyone gets even a little lift for their day from a word of praise.  Think of how you feel when someone notices and tells you about a new garment you are wearing and lets you know how nice you look.  Or the smile you receive when you tell someone what a great job they did on a particular project.  You get tons more milege from a positive word.  People are more likely to extend themselves more and more often when they know that they are appreciated.  Even a pat on the back for trying one time can lead to a success the next time.  Make a point of finding opportunities to lift a heart or create a smile by a simple word of       praise              Bonnie Holscher
