A Gift . . . . That Keeps Giving

“Three billion people on the face of the earth go to bed

hungry every night, but four billion people go to

bed every night hungry for a simple word of

encouragement and recognition.”

Cavett Robert 1907 – 1997, Professional Speaker,

Sales Trainer

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

A gift . . . . that keeps giving

 

Food can make a person strong . . . .

 

Encouragement and recognition . . . .  With a healthy dose of both will   brighten a person’s day . . . .  feeds their self-esteem . . . . and will help them to build their self-confidence.

 

A child that has been nurtured with encouragement with positive recognition becomes an adult with a strong sense of self-worth. They will take on new opportunities with positive self-expectation . . . . and with a sense of confidence in their actions. 

 

Also when a person has received . . . . positive recognition and reinforcement. They will respect other people . . . . and show appreciation for who they are . . . . and for what they do.

 

A gift . . . . that keeps giving . . . . Is in encouraging other people to be the best that they can be . . . . and in supporting their efforts in reaching a success outcome. Also by showing recognition for their efforts  you’re encouraging the person to stretch their limits . . . . and to grow are a person.

A gift that is priceless and never goes away. It doesn't have to mean monetarily or be an object - it could be something that you give of yourself freely like paying it forward to someone...

Lou Ludwig Who did this study? I don't believe it for a minute.

But that said, I do value words of encouragement.

Not to be a Debbie Downer but too much encouragement and emotional nourishment is why we've ended up with an entire entitled generation who thinks way too highly of themselves. There has to be a balance of reality mixed in with that encouragement.

It has found that recognition to employees surpasses raises in many cases.

I do enjoy and love encouragement, when you are an entrepreneur in the early days though you'll have more people putting you down instead of up. Just have to believe in your self enough to make whatever you want happen.

I felt like that is an imprtant part of being a parent to encourage but to be realistic too and let your children know when they fall short. I think it is important to win and I am not all about participation trophies just because you show up.
