No matter how masterly we are in our work, we always love it when some one encourages us as we all love being applauded. I love a quote by Blaise Pascal, " Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much ".
How true is that. Kind thoughts do not remain as long in our minds as kind words do because kind words leave a lasting impression on our minds. No matter kind words said by anyone to you are either short or long but they echo with the walls of our minds forever. Kind words have the potential to produce enthusiasm and motivate an industrious man, now imagine what wonder would they bring if said to some indolent man! As kindness can make enemies friends similarly kind words can withdraw all the altercation between people.
Humans have natural inclination towards appreciation. We love it when our parents appreciate us in front of the world. Nothing provides us more contentment than our teachers praising us in front of our parents. Nothing gives more satisfaction to heart than helping others with kind acts. All the leaders, every hero and the legends are remembered and honored today more than anything because they lived their life for others. What ever they did, they did for humanity. The life we are enjoying today is the result of their efforts. The examples set by the legends is also applicable in today’s world where due to so much competition people draw out as they are afraid of losing, nothing support them more than fine words.
One of the chief causes of lack of keenness is the feeling that one is disliked, on the contrary nothing promotes zest more than the feeling of being loved. A man may have the feeling of being disliked due to many reasons and one of them is the thought of not being appreciated.
Lately I have been reading some inspirational stories of people. The most amazing story I read was of a guy with an amazing lesson. He described himself as an average but hardworking student. He got struck off from the school due to not obtaining good grades. No group leader ever wanted to make him a part of his group. He passed his middle school as a normal student. This is not new as it relates to the story of so many other students but then comes the watershed as one day on his good performance the teacher and the class applauded him. Like, after getting applause one believes this is what he wants, the thirst of getting more recognition and proving himself aroused day by day and he went on hardworking more and more. He was chosen by the government to visit different European countries due to his excellence. There is so much more to write on his achievements but to put it simply, his amazingly inspirational story gives a lesson of how an applaud and some kind words from the teacher and student fellows helped him discover his hidden talent and made him able to realize his hopes into reality. This story also makes one believe that success loves listening to applause. As it listens to applause, it will arise jump up and up.
Recently the idea of ‘Wall of Kindness‘ was spread by an anonymous Iranian that quickly spread throughout the country. The precepts of the movement are two sentences ‘Leave it if you don’t need it. It is basically a charity work, people leave their clothes, shoes or things that are not in use. We are regular internet users hence the idea spread through the social media rapidly. The idea gained so much applause that it was adopted by many other countries right away. People loved the concept internationally. This kind act in Iran received so many kind words that prompted many other people to remove all the obstruction lying in their way. This idea is adopted by Pakistan immediately after Iran. Despite many calamities around, only because of people round the country backing this idea up and encouraging the youth; this wall is a prominent landmark in many cities of Pakistan today.
Every time, every single time when our leaders step in to address the people on the stage, we knew what they are going to deliver; but every time we listen to their speech it gives us some hope that they will ameliorate the harsh situation soon and what make us believe in them are none other than their kind words that show their concern for us. Similarly the daily deriding, instead of taking us ahead will produce inferiority complex in us which is very difficult to abolish once generated. It is also true that sometimes challenging or scorning someone results into good as it produce in them the avidity of proving themselves. But it is an infrequent thing as not everyone takes it as a challenge to accomplish.
Nothing beats kind words.One should not use bitter words to do the magic that kind words can do. May be you succeed in making things happen by mocking others of their shortcomings, but they will never ever enjoy the victory gained after listening to such scornful remarks. People know with whom to share their triumph and predominantly they will use this tool to prompt other’s hopes.
