In human relations criticism is a disservice.

Every person has the need to feel important. Sincere compliments makes a person feel important.

“I am anxious to praise and loathe to find fault” – Charles Schwab.

“I will speak ill of no one and speak the good I know of everyone”- Benjamin Franklin

When interacting with people we interact with creatures of emotion not creatures of logic.

“Don’t criticize them, they are what we would be under similar circumstances.” – Abraham Lincoln

Start being happier with malice towards none and charity (empathy) for all.
