Sentiment: POSITIVE
The advantage of doing one's praising for oneself is that one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.
One should use praise to recognize what one is not.
Taking an interest in what others are thinking and doing is often a much more powerful form of encouragement than praise.
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
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.
I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.
It is one thing to praise discipline, and another to submit to it.
True praise comes often even to the lowly; false praise only to the strong.
