It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet   26 . The loaded plates I carried   27  to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything   28 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice cream   29  a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father   30  at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve   31  us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness   32 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “  33 ! Those few words of praise had   34  everything. Praise is like   35  to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And   36 , while most of us are only too   37  to apply to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are   38  to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why so when one word of praise can bring such   39 ?”
It’s strange how chary (吝啬的) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s    40  few of us know how to accept it. It’s   41  rewarding to give praise in   42  in which an effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets admiration for a wonderful picture, a cook for a   43  meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are   44  just right? In fact, to give praise   45  one nothing but a moment’s thought and moment’s effort.
