Congratulate Those Who Try Over Those Who Succeed
Isn’t it surprising that we constantly congratulate those who’ve succeeded, over those who have not? We praise those who get first place in a competition when we need to also praise those who don’t place at all. As Neil deGrasse Tyson puts it, “Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.” Maybe next time you’re attending a competition, praise everyone instead of just the winner and see how much of an impact you have (Twitter).
