Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
Whether we're happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.
For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.
I think that giving mindless praise is ridiculous. But I understand why parents do it. They want their kids to feel good about themselves. But parents are never going to teach their children true, positive self esteem by praising everything they do.
One should use praise to recognize what one is not.
Usually we praise only to be praised.
I thought acknowledging praise meant you were arrogant, but I've learned that knowing your strengths enables you to make use of them.
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.
