Do you praise others?

I don't think that it's a good idea either to flatter those to get some thing back from them. There are people who do this to those who are in a higher station or position to them. Perhaps for money or some type of authority. We don't want to be in this type of category.

I also don't like praising the bossy ones , they have too much self-confidence. Praising them makes them more annoying. The bossy people must be put in place , they have to be told they are not pleasant and nice to stay with. Though I don't usually tend to argue or blame people. Fighting is not my strong side. I like praising only the people that are nice and humble. Praising them makes them aware of their worth , knowing they do the right things. It's very important to give them power. A very important thing is to not praise in the right way , like , giving the person the motivation to keep doing whatever he does right. My dad used to praise me for developing muscles and I didn't like the way he praised me. That was in such an annoying way that I stopped exercising.

I ment , people have to find the right way how to praise. I accidently wrote "...is to not praise in the right way..." my mistake.

I agree that it is important to praise those who deserve it and are humble. It makes them feel good, And they want to work harder and do even better. For those who are prideful and arrogant they already think that they are better than everyone else so there's no need for us to try and add to it.

Yes, I agree with you. Sometimes it may result as an insult or joke., which may brake the good relation ship.

I agree with you that it is a good thing to praise those who deserve it. To offer them sincere and genuine praise. And to let them know that this is truly how we feel. Not that we are insulting them. No one likes to be insulted so it's a good thing for us to be sincere.

I agree children especially need to hear praise from us. And they do work hard to hear us tell them that they have done well or a good job. It is so nice to see the smiling faces they have when they know that we are happy with what they have accomplished.

It's a good thing to do, but we don't want others to get a big head or anything. And we don't want someone else to think that we are showing favoritism. So it's a balance we work at.

I agree with you. Having a negative disposition, and then having some praise you really uplifts you. Having a negative attitude greatly affects the way we feel and see things. So oothers commendation does a lot of good.

I agree we all like it when our efforts are appreciated. It encourages and motivates us to keep going and to improve in our skill. When we don't feel appreciated it is discouraging to us. So it is a great thing to praise others sincerely.

I agree that doing this is a good thing. It's nice for us to be encouraging to others. It is diffinitely a good thing to look at the good in others. So many people are always looking at faults. We should want to be different and more respectful of others.

It does make us feel good when we give praise to others that is truly sincere and comes from the heart. We like it when others commend us so it is a good thing for us to work on. Others appreciate what we say and do that encourages them to do better.

I too think that praising others build their self-esteem. So many people are quick to critcize that not many people feel that they or their work is good enough. When we praise others it encourages them to want to do better.

I agree it's not a good thing to be discouraging to others. We want to work hard to build others up. To encourage them. There are enough people out there who discourage we want to do the opposite.

I agree that there has to be a balance. We don't want to overdo it. But just the right amount should cause them to feel good about themselves and cause them to want to improve in their skills and abilities.

I encourage you to give it a try, to try and do it consistently. Looking for ways that you can sincerely commend them at. It will go along way. We appreciate others when they encourage us, it really does motivate us and draws us closer to them. You may even be praising them in small ways that your not even aware of. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
