1。Some persons refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse.“I didn’t come back sooner,”he explained,“because I imagined you must be death with people thanking you.”
“On the contrary,”she replied,“I am delighted you came.Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it.”
Gratitude is something of which none of us give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up philosophy of life.
2. When a student’s work did not measure up to the teacher’s expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance. Instead, the teachet assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary silp--- and the student believed her and felt reassured. The next time around, he tried harder, determinted to live up to what the teacher knew he could to.
The exact part of communication that tells a child,“I expect the best,”is difficult to pinpoint. In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation. The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and child picks up that conviction.
