We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you.
What you praise you increase.
What men and women need is encouragement. ... Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut of bad habits.
Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, "Make me feel important." Never forget this message when working with people.
We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.
Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
Most people would rather be seen through than not seen at all.
When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life.
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves; we desire to live an imaginary life in the minds of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine.
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.
If each of us were to confess his most secret desire, the one that inspires all his plans, all his actions, he would say: "I want to be praised."
We talk on principle, but we act on interest.
What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning.
The virtues and the vices are all put in motion by interest.
It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to.
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
You have to know exactly what you want out of your career. If you want to be a star, you don't bother with other things.
Interest speaks all sorts of tongues, and plays all sorts of parts, even that of disinterestedness.
Men's actions depend to a great extent upon fear. We do things either because we enjoy doing them or because we are afraid not to do them.
Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.
