"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big differene." - Sir Winston Churchill
Positive reactions are usually much more encouraging than negative ones. Negative comments - even if they meant to improve the person - generate frustration or opposition, but rarely the will to improve. Positive ones on the other hand make the listener feel able to do well, and brings him to put more efforts.
Another - not less important - effect of positive reactions is peace. Peace comes from relating to others by their positive sides. Everyone has postive and negative, good and bad character traits. If we want to, we can find good - as well as bad - in everyone. The question is: what do we decide to focus on? On the bad - that leads to lowering one's self-esteem, blocks their growth, and generates fights; or the good - which leads to encouraging the other one to be even better, and this way we make peace. It is a - not always easy - decision to make every time we open our mouth. The power of our words, and even our non-verbal actions are incredible. We can use them to change people in both directions, as-well-as to create war or peace. We should use them carefully!
