Every person needs good company.
Unfortunately, the greatest let down is the ‘pull him/her down’ syndrome.
There is little to no encouragement for idea generation and start-ups.
What contribution do you make to encourage the next person to realise their dreams?
When you see someone struggling, are you willing to help them?
To help not as an obligation, but as a gesture of love.
As an expert or experienced person, when somebody seeks your assistance do you assist or you highlight their weaknesses until they give up?
Those that have given up are not always weak, but some have been weighed down by bad attitudes.
Are you an obstacle to someone’s efforts?
Sometimes the rich and famous only do lip service without actually assisting others.
Do not let someone fall, if you can hold them up.
Some people just need a small push, but you choose to watch them fail.
You can be a blessing to society by encouraging the next person.
Your love can transform the world by just speaking hope to a struggling person.
Not everyone needs material help; moral support can go a long way in making someone realise their dream.
Encouragement is a building block upon which every success story is built.
That positive whisper can awaken the sleeping giant in someone, for them to realise their full potential.
Dreams die and dry out because of lack of support.
The processes of polishing diamonds shows the need to be patient if the best is to realised.
The myth of how difficult certain things are, is also a cause for concern.
If you failed it does not mean the next person will fail.
He future is not always determined by the past. You do not need to remind someone of their previous circumstances to the extent that they discard their idea.
There is a lot that can come from the dust provided society gives each player an equal opportunity.
There is a lot to learn even from the ragged and bare footed.
It just takes a society that raises hope in each and every individual for them to be able to shine.
Silence is also a wrong approach when faced with someone who needs encouragement. Your silence will plant a seed of doubt.
Constructive criticism is the cornerstone of building a progressive society. Have the courage to offer criticism as a building block.
Gather the strength to always encourage someone to pursue their dreams and realise their true value.
There is no worse evil than letting someone experiment and fail, yet you could have corrected that person.
Premature exposure has seen great talents fail; the onus is on society to nurture and groom talent.
Where one fails to make it in pursuit of a noble cause, there is no need to make headlines about it.
There are greater values in being their pillar of strength and encourage the person to try again.
The great man and women of this world are people who were given a chance to try again.
Those who failed in society tried and failed, but lacked the encouragement to try again.
What remains vivid is their failure, whereas they could have been encouraged to try again and eventually succeeded.
There is power in holding the next persons’ hand towards their success.
Society is not short of brave and talented individuals; it just lacks people who choose to believe in the great potential of others.
Greatness is meant to be shared.
