Those small words spoken

[ar]

Do not belittle the other person. Do not make him feel small. Do not
criticize him or find fault with him.

No one likes to be criticized. Look for good qualities in others and
appreciate them. When you appreciate others, you draw out the best that is
in them. Appreciate your friends, your spouse, your children. Never scold
children. When you scold them, you stifle the life-force that is within
them.

Mr.X asked a little boy:- "My child, what is your name?"

He answered:- "At school, they call me Ramesh. At home, I am called
Ramesh-don't."

Mr.X could not understand. And he explained:- "At school they call me
Ramesh. But whenever I am at home, they always tell me, Ramesh don't behave
like this, Ramesh don't speak like this, Ramesh don't sit like this, Ramesh
don't talk like this!"

Appreciate your children. Appreciate your spouse. Women have complained:-
"There was a time when our husbands gave us many pledges, but all that has
become part of history. Today, they pay no attention to us. They take us for
granted."

Tonight, as you return to your homes, go and tell your spouse:- "Honey,
where would I have been without you?" Those few, simple words can enact a
miracle.

When Mr.Y was in Hong Kong, at one of the lectures, a leading man of Hong
Kong presided. At the meeting, Mr.Y offered this suggestion. And the man,
who presided over the meeting, met him the next day. He said:- "Truly, the
words you passed on to us yesterday, have enacted a miracle. When I returned
home last night, I told my wife, 'Honey, where would I have been without
you?' At first, my wife could not understand. Her face was blank. Then,
gradually, as the meaning of those words became clear, her face brightened
and her eyes glowed with a strange light. Since then, the entire atmosphere
of the house has changed . . ."
