Appreciative words are the most powerful force for good on earth.
Crane, George W
Are you comfortable in noticing good things in others and praising them? Praising is an important quality which builds healthy relationship. As human beings we feel happy when people praise us. We should understand this human nature. What is praised is noticed and grows.
There are three ways you can praise a person. In fact I call them as the three levels of praising.
At the first level praise the person upfront. Tell him directly what you like in him. Be honest while doing so. At the second level, praise the person in the presence of another person. Tell the third person in the presence of the person whom you are praising what you like in him. It should look natural and not artificial. At the third level, tell others what you like in your friend and there should be a fair probability that someone from them should inform your friend what you said about him.
Whenever you praise someone, you should do it generously, but at the same time ensuring that the person praised does not feel embarrassed! If you exceed the limit, you may be dubbed as a sycophant!
Praising the right person for the right purpose and at the right level enhances your image!
