Accept Praise For Its Worth - Politeness. Be Brutally Frank With Yourself. It's Safer.
Our Continual Desire For Praise Ought To Convince Us Of Our Mortality, If Nothing Else Will.
Praise Your Children More Than You Correct Them. Praise Them For Even Their Smallest Achievement.
Praise Can Be Your Most Valuable Asset As Long As You Don't Aim It At Yourself.
Everybody Keeps Calling For Excellence - Excellence Not Just In Schooling, Throughout Society. But As Soon As Somebody Or Something Stands Out As Excellent, The Other Shout Goes Up: "elitism!" And Whatever Produced That Thing, Whoever Praises That Result, Is Promptly Put Down. "standing Out" Is Undemocratic.
