“I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my people the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.  There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a person as criticisms from superiors.  I never criticize anyone.  I believe in giving a person incentive to work.  So I am anxious to praise but loath to find fault.  If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my praise.”  — Charles Schwab

  1. now what is criticism? How can one grow if one doesn’t recognize one’s errors. I truly believe in affirming people and praise, but I also think that there is room for constructive criticism – not everyone can get 100% and most people want to know why (well maybe only for the sake of arguing for points).
