everyone wants to be appreciated and praised by others for what they do and what they say. for instance, children want to be praised by their parents. students want to be praised by their teachers. employees want to be praised by their employers. it seems that praise is like sunlight to us, we can't flower and grow without it.

　　but it is a pity that while most of us are only too ready to blow the cold wind of harsh criticism on others, we are somehow reluctant to give people around us the warm sunshine of praise. for example, most mothers are always not satisfied with the progress their children made at school most teachers always drown their students compositions in critical red ink, instead of commenting favorably on them.

　　most employersarealways criticalabout what their employees have done instead of giving encouragement to them. produces may be great. so, let's be alert to the small excellence around us and comment on them. we will not only bring joy into other people's lives, but also, very often, add happiness to our own.
