"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]
You should read 'How to Make Friends and Influence People', by Dale Carnegie. For enjoyment.

Hi Jaq - Actually, that's where I got the quote from! Great book.
ReplyDeleteMr Schwab wouldn't have gotten very far in Australia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHm! Is criticism is a big part of the culture down under?
