A principle to follow in life is giving sincere appreciation
Making the other person want to do it is the ONLY WAY to get anybody to do anything. Both Sigmund Freud and Dr. Dewey believed that the deepest urge in human nature is THE DESIRE TO BE GREAT. This is also what separates mankind from animals.
50% of mental disorders can be attributed to physical causes (alcohol, toxins, injuries, brain lesions), but the other half go INSANE to find the feeling of importance that they craved in reality. Imagine the miracle we can achieve by giving people honest appreciation, for which people are willing to go insane. This goes for any relationship, especially spouses, which we take for granted
This should not be confused with FLATTERY because it is shallow, insincere and universally condemned. It backfires like counterfeit money.
We spend 95% of the time thinking about ourselves. Spend a fraction of it thinking about others to give them genuine appreciation, because all human beings crave appreciation, and it is LEGAL TENDER THAT ALL SOULS ENJOY
