how to encourage people to become better the right way

everybody wants to become better. who doesn't right? but the wrong way of doing it can ruin just about every chance you have with somebody you want to get better. so here are some points on how to make it work.

1. don't criticize. you can point out one's weaknesses without criticisms. first, you have to praise somebody's good points, and work your way from there to identify his or her strengths and weaknesses. then suggest how she or he can turn her weaknesses into strengths to allow room for growth, improvement and development.

2. don't compare her or him to anyone out there. everybody is unique. each one has her or his own talent to boast about. so don't even bother comparing him or her to anyone, lest you want to be shut out of her or his life for good.

3. develop her or his potentials. if you have seen something so unique about her or something he is really good at, try egging him on so she or he can fine-tune her or his craft.

4. give your full support. anything you can offer can push someone further on what she or he does. just don't overdo it so she or he won't get misled by false praises.

5. brag about her or his accomplishments to people close to you. this would always make her or him feel good and it gives her or him the confidence to even get better.


so there. just a few of the good points in encouraging someone to become better in anything that she or he does. next time you try encouraging someone, try those tips above and you will never fail.
