The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential.
If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond our wildest dreams.
We all need to encourage others and receive encouragement ourselves. Let these words of wisdom in these inspirational quotes inspire, motivate, and encourage you!

you help them to become what they are capable of being."

they will perform better. "

"I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men
the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in
a man is by appreciation and encouragement."
Charles Schwab
"Note how good you feel after you have encouraged someone else.
No other argument is necessary to suggest that never miss
the opportunity to give encouragement."

Monyet King Hi MWS
Encouraging children in whatever they do is most valuable. It allows them to really grow, socially and emotionally. Sometimes it is sad seeing parents putting down their own children instead of encouraging them. Regards. Bala

Anonymous Encouragement must be spontaneous and sincere to be effective. It must come from the heart accompanied by positive body language and gesture......yes we must also encourage but wisely and prudently lest we may also give false hope and misleading aspirations.....so I conclude by saying encourage with humility and love for your fellow human beings..regards. bengaun

Unknown Dear Dr Bala
You have spoken from the heart of a father who loves his children (sorry I do not know how many you have) and understands the intricacies of parenting. Indeed what you have shared is so true. Words must be spoken carefully for if not, the damage and effect can be long-lasting - far beyond what we can ever imagine.
Take care and may your kids pass on the legacy you have given them to their own children...
God bless you and yours always!
Cheers

Anonymous Quite simply, there can be no true democracy unless the citizens of a country realize that they are sovereign, that they are the main protagonists, and then with wisdom and a strong sense of responsibility take action based on that realization. Democracy cannot be successful in its mission unless the people rouse themselves to become more informed and involved, unless they unite, unless they establish an unshakable force for justice and keep a strict eye on the activities of the powerful.
