“I will smile at friend and foe alike
and make every effort to find,
in him or her,
a quality to praise now that I realize
that the deepest yearning in
human nature is a craving to be appreciated.”
~Og Mandino~

In truth ,
all of us have praiseworthy features,
and all I need to do
is to be certain that
I am complimenting from
my heart with a
voice that is sincere.

To praise, to smile,
to show concern for others,
is as beneficial to to the donor
as it is to the recipient of
such words and deeds.

“I will smile at friend and foe alike
and make every effort to find,
in him or her,
a quality to praise now that I realize
that the deepest yearning in
human nature is a craving to be appreciated.”
