Words Of Tom Walsh
Something I realized a few years ago in one of those, “Of course - I should have realized that all along!” moments is that encouragement is absolutely free. It doesn’t cost me a cent to give it out, but its payoff is incredible. A brighter smile, improved performance on any sort of task, much more enjoyment in doing something - I see these in people constantly when I or someone else encourages them. I often read stories by adults who have succeeded in life largely in part because just one person saw their potential and encouraged them when they were younger, and they have never forgotten those people or their words. Wouldn’t you love to feel that something like that would be possible with you as the remembered person? I know that I would, but unless I plant the seeds today, that sort of harvest will never come to pass.
