Encourage Others
A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of
praise after success.

Do you generally encourage or
discourage others? Encouraging others is an important quality of a leader. We
all need encouragement to achieve in life. Encouragement is the emotional tonic
you give to others to build self confidence. This is the mutual help we give
each other. We need a lot of help from others, but the most important one is
their encouraging words.
Great achievers were lucky that
they got encouragement at the right time, which made all the difference. But
for the encouragement of Helen Keller’s mother Kate Adams Keller and her
teacher Anne Sullivan, she would have remained deaf and dumb forever.
Read the following:
·
Do you generally encourage people or discourage
them?
·
Are people comfortable to come to you to say what
they are trying to achieve? Or, do they shy away from you for fear of
discouragement?
·
Would you have achieved whatever you’ve achieved,
if you had not been encouraged by someone?
Over the next
one week, identify at least ten persons, who are trying to achieve something in
their life and think how you can encourage them.
