COURTESY OPENS ALL DOORS

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well

as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer wherever you are.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

If you treat an individual as if they were what they ought to be and could

be, they will become what they ought to be and could be.

Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed.

There is no stimulus like that which comes

from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in you.

Applaud others when they run.

Console them when they fail.

And cheer them when they recover.

As water is to a flower,

so is praise to the heart of another.

# re: COURTESY OPENS ALL DOORS

I liked the line where you said "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and could be." That is very true because I don't know how many times someone in my family has tried to do things FOR me because they assume that I can't do it myself. This just hinders my growth and it makes me so mad! If they were to challenge me by making me do things that they didn't think I could do, then maybe I would reach my potential. You know?
