Just a thought

(this picture has nothing to do with the post except that it makes me laugh.)

Just a thought from something I just read in How to Win Friends and Influence People:

"Use of praise instead of criticism is the basic concept of B.F. Skinner's teachings. This great contemporary psychologist has shown by experiments with animals and with humans that when criticism is minimized and praise emphasized, the good things people do will be reinforced and the poorer things will atrophy for lack of attention."
