We need to praise their effort and ability. If you come from a community where you have never received messages like that from faculty members and educators, it’s important at some point to be able to hear, you know what? You have the ability to do this. I believe in your ability to do this.”
This reminds me of when I was in high school and teachers would encourage me. It definitely does have a powerful affect on people. It’s encouraging and empowering. I feel if professors ,teachers even bosses told their students or employees something encouraging , something to make them want to keep going and do better , there would definitely be more successful people around.
