A mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances. 4.

Employers who understand human nature get the best there is out of people not by criticism but by constructive suggestion. Parents may accomplish the same results with their children. Criticism will plant fear or resentment in the human heart but it will not build love or affection.”
