Sometimes it takes another to believe in us before we can begin to believe in ourselves. When we praise another person’s effort, we give them more fuel to continue on. When we praise another, even though that person just ran 25 miles with one mile left to go, will run a little faster and focus more on the race. When we praise another, we bring hope and opportunity to that person. Because we bring hope and opportunity, that person begins to understand that someone else believes in them thus they begin to believe more in themselves.
