Some of my recent learning and believe:
Talk about changing people. If you and I will inspire the people with whom we come in contact to a realization of the hidden treasures they possess, we can do far more than change people. We can literally transform them.
Exaggeration? Then listen to these sage words from William James, one of the most distinguished psychologists and philosophers America has ever produced:
Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.
Yes, you who are reading these lines possess powers of various sorts which you habitually fail to use; and one of these powers you are probably not using to the fullest extent is your magic ability to praise people and inspire them with a realization of their latent possibilities.
Abilities wither under criticism; they blossom under encouragement. To become a more effective leader of people, apply . .
"Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.
Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.”

Every child is born with limitless creativity. We, the elders will always laugh at their silly talks and discourage them, We send them to school to conform with the ongoing pattern and shun new ideas aka creativity. Without creativity the world cannot progress, the few that resisted and managed to maintain little bit of creativity, are the ones contributing to advancing the world. Those who didn't took it for granted what they were taught and questioned them were the ones who are called inventors, visionaries and revered. Which Einstein was the good boy of class? Isn't this all very ironic?
If your heart tells you to do something, you should do it. Do not fear failure. When you'll run out of time, you'll only regret things you didn't do. Its all in your mind and your body will adopt to what your mind believes it can do, but you have to train it that level.
Go for it!
thanks for your nice thought Dew.
