Praise is important or not.

Hot 2859 views. 2015-12-12 11:42 | important

      We always want to hear  praise from the parents ,teachers or bosses in life.Especially  kids like to hear it.I think it is important to get praise.For kids,praise means a kind of encourage and a kind of approval.This can make kids studying hard for geting more praise.It is same as an adult.Praise represents the job that is done by you is wonderful,maybe you can get an oppotunity to promote a higher rank.So,when a person got praise,he or she alway felt be happy,even have a good motion in the whole day.

       But if we get praise constantly,we donot think praise is useful to our work.Actually,donot easily praise someone.It look like a theory that only scarce resource can be pay attention.Alway immersing in praise,people counldnot judge himself and look down on other people,eventually,this person will be alone and have no friends.There is a good story to prove this situation that named 'Proud peacock'.I remember this story is a taxt in primary school.it narrates a beautiful peacock likes to show its gorgeous feather.One day, she came to a small river for drinking.When she look down,she saw a bird who looked exactly as same.she opened eyes biggly,so did the bird.She showed her gorgeous feather,so did the bird.The peacock got angry,she wanted to beat the bird,on the contrary, she dropped into the river.THe bird disappeared.when this time, a magpie who had felled on a tree by this river was laughing at her.she told the peacock that the bird was her,her was this bird.it was her shadow.

      From this story,we should to know sometimes prise is a good thing ,however,we should be sober to realise the true meaning correctly.

Praise is just like a reward for others. Praise is different from encouragement. If praise is given out carelessly then the praise would not have much value.  When we praise somebody we must first understand what he has done and how he compares with others. Praise should be given when there is clear proof of success.

When qualified or justified praise is given out, it works as a recognition of his effort and good result and the giver has to really understand and able to give a true and qualified praise. Not just a few praising words.

When praise is dispense praise carelessly it could backfire because the person praised would not know his exact achievement and could mislead him. Over praising could also decrease the willpower to do better.

There is no problem in encouragement, especially for children, when they have done something new or creative. Words like good boy, good girl, well done, good job, Gimme five Everybody needs some encouragement along the way. It is also fine to give some compliments to adults who have done something good.

There is a difference between Western and Chinese culture towards praise. In Western culture, praise is given when significantly good result is noticed. In Eastern, Asian and Chinese cultures praise if not readily given because they believe it could spoil the person praised.

Praise should be given when success is recognized.
Criticism is necessary when there is unreasonable failure.
Help should be given to the needy when due.
Comfort and support should be given to those who are suffering
Medicine should be given to cure disease.
A favor given at the right time can last a lifetime.

When somebody achieved something well, or a person who has tried best to do something though did not have it done so good, we all can prise him for his hard work. This could encourage people to do better, meanwhile inspire and encourage them to know even though the result is not that ideal, it is worth of trying.

Overdone on anything goes to the opposite effects. We can define what kind of things we should praise. Positive situmulus is such a nice manner to help those who really need support and affirmation.
