It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet 　31　 . The loaded plates I carried 　32　 　to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 　33　 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice – cream　 　34　 　a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father　 　35　 　at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ ve　 　36　 　us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness　 　37　 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 　38　 !” Those few words of praise had　 　39　 everything. Praise is like　 　40　 　to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And　 　41　 , while most of us are only too　 　42　 　to apply (应用) to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are　 　43　 　to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why – when one word of praise can bring such　 　44　 ?

It’s strange how chary (吝啬) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s　 　45　 　few of us know how to accept it. It’s　 　46　 　rewarding (奖赏) to give praise in areas in which　 　47　 　generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a　 　48　 　meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are　 　49　 　just right? In fact, to giver praise　 　50　 　the give nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.
