“I can live for two months on a good compliment.“ - Mark Twain
words are powerful. they can create or they can destroy. they have the power to chart new direction in someone’s life. the words that you speak today can offer encouragement and positive thoughts to another human being. or your words can send them further into despair. so choose them carefully.
Encouraging words build up the lives around us. and as you affirm others you will benefit. people who express heartfelt encouragement to others find it easier to express gratitude, feel joy and achieve success themselves. today, go out of your way to positively affirm these three people:
A family member– words spoken by those who know us best and love us the most are the most powerful. they have the greatest potential for good or harm. if you want your child to turn out well, pull them aside, compliment them, and tell them why they make you proud. a short conversation now can have unbelievable, long-range benefits in the future. but our need to hear affirming words doesn’t end when we turn 18. so remind your spouse why you love him/her. or tell your parents how much you appreciate them. make the call today.
A co-worker –many of our co-workers live tragic lives at home. they smile on the outside, but only to hide the pain on the inside. build them up. be liberal with your praise. send an e-mail. write a short note. offer an unsolicited compliment. speak health and well-being into another’s life. you may have no idea how desperately it needed to be heard…
Yourself –don’t forget yourself. we need to hear powerful words of affirmation as much as anybody else. remember that you have the power over your own thoughts - choose to make them positive. speak kind words to yourself today and build up your own being and spirit. you may just begin charting a brand new path.
I am a fan of simplicity. i encourage others to eliminate the unneeded things from their lives… but positive words cannot be on that list. too many people are counting on you.
“一句贊美我的話可以讓我高興兩個月”-馬克·吐溫
語言的力量是強大的。它們可以創(chuàng)造,它們也可以毀滅。他們能夠為他們指出生命里新的方向。你現(xiàn)在所說的話會鼓舞他人并讓他們充滿積極的想法,也有可能你說的話會讓他們對未來極度的絕望。因此,三思而后言。
鼓勵的言語可以促進我們的生活,贈人玫瑰手有余香。給別人由衷的鼓勵言語也可以讓自己更好的去表達感激,感受喜悅和獲得成功。那么現(xiàn)在,就去鼓勵以下這三種人吧:
1.親人——從最了解我們最愛我們的人口中說的話是最有力量的,他們有可能獲得最好的或最壞的結(jié)果。如果你想你的小孩能夠表現(xiàn)的更好,把他們叫過來,夸夸他們,告訴他們?yōu)槭裁此麄兪悄愕尿湴粒F(xiàn)在一番簡短的聊天會在將來產(chǎn)生無法估計的、長期的益處,但是我們自己想聽到贊揚的需要也不會隨著你成年而結(jié)束。因此,告訴你的愛人為什么你這么的愛他/她,或者告訴你的父母你有多么的感激他們。現(xiàn)在就去說吧。
2.同事——很多我們的同事在家可能有悲慘的生活。他們可能笑的很燦爛,那也僅僅是為了掩蓋心里的悲傷。讓他們自信起來,不要吝嗇你的溢美之詞了。發(fā)個E -mail,或者寫一個小便條,給出一些發(fā)自內(nèi)心的鼓勵。講講他人健康和幸福,你不會知道我們是多么的希望聽到這樣的話...
3.自己——不要忘了自己。我們自己跟別人一樣也需要聽到許多鼓勵的話。你要記住你能控制自己的思想——讓我們保持積極的心態(tài)吧。每天對自己說 一些鼓勵的話,讓自己充滿自信并精力飽滿。就像你即將開始一段新的征程。
