Esteem is encouragement instead of correction
Posted by Cecilia under: Philosophy .
Correcting people may be difficult when we want to do it with esteem because too often they aren’t able to accept criticism. On the other hand a correction can really be helpful and sometimes even expected among friends.
Instead of correcting people we can choose to encourage them. Through encouragement we can still be helpful but in a very esteemful way.
Encouragement means that we put the point of attention on the part which can be improved. Correction means that we give more weight to the part which shouldn’t be done anymore.
An esteemful approach for helping always chooses encouragement over correction.
One Comment so far...
