When was the last time you praised your child, told someone good
job or even simply said; thank you. In the rush to get all of our
day-to-day activities and trying to complete tasks, I doubt very
much we stop and think about praise and recognition. If you are a
coach, teacher, manager, peer, mentor or parent, you must on a
regular basis stop and praise the efforts of those around you.

Praising someone in public or private is a tremendous motivator
whose worth cannot be measured. Developing praise and recognition
into your daily routine is so simple it is often forgotten. We
often focus on the negative; don't give in to this temptation.

No matter what your profession is a few simple tips below will
help get you started, after that develop your own style, it is
easier than you think.

1. No matter where you are the next time someone holds open a
door, lets you in a parking space, on the highway, say out loud
thank you.

2. If your spouse brings you a cold drink or something to eat,
tell them how much you appreciate the effort and thought.

3. Give your child or spouse a big hug and kiss, then simply say
*Thanks for being you*.

4. Next time you ask someone to help with a task or project,
thank him or her in advance for his or her time and help, in this
case don't wait until it is completed.

Outside of money, recognizing and praising someone for their
efforts goes a long way in building character and self worth, try
it and you will reap the benefits, and because it just feels
good.
