“What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting
powers should be strengthened, not weakened…. Instead of always harping
on a man’s faults,tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his
rut of bad habits. Hold up to him his better self, his REAL self that
can dare and do and win out! … The influence of a beautiful, helpful,
hopeful character is contagious, and may revolutionize a whole town….
People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. If a man
feels kindly and obliging, his neighbors will feel that way, too, before
long.But if he scolds and scowls and criticizes—his neighbors will
return scowl for scowl, and add interest! … When you look for the bad,
expecting it, you will get it. When you know you will find the good—you will get that…”
Today I am glad for teachers...the ones I know personally...the ones I know bloggily...and the heroes from Connecticut.
