Use these ‘tools’ to encourage others

Wisdom will find a way to invest in life. Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest person who lived, said in Proverbs 25:11 and 15:22, “The right word at the right time is like a custom-made piece of jewelry … congenial conversation — what a pleasure! The right word at the right time — beautiful.”

Extending appreciative affirmation provides the potential of creating a pleasant atmosphere.

These expressions provide tools proven to be beneficial:

Wow — Way to go — Super — You’re special — Outstanding — Excellent — Great — Good –—Neat — Well done — I knew you could — I’m proud of you — Fantastic — Super star — Nice work — Looking good — You’re on top of it — Beautiful — Now you’re flying — You’ve got it — You’re catching on — Incredible — Bravo — Amazing — Hurrah — Nice — Smart — Good job — Superb — Hot dog — Dynamite — You’re beautiful — You’re unique — Nothing stops you — Great job — I like you — You’re a winner — Superb work — Beautiful job — Supreme — Spectacular — Delightful — Worthy — Great development — You discovered the secret — You got it — Fantastic job — Hip hip hooray — Bingo — Magnificent.
