Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought acknowledging praise meant you were arrogant, but I've learned that knowing your strengths enables you to make use of them.
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
Build your self-esteem by recalling all the ways you have succeeded, and your brain will be filled with images of you making your achievements happen again and again. Give yourself permission to toot your own horn, and don't wait for anyone to praise you.
In a way, a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing, because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved, you can still make enemies makes you humble, too.
Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.
We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves.
I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.
Praise doesn't mean anything to me. I don't judge myself.
The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.
So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.
