Yes I think we could all do with a bit of that. People are so quick to point out and punish us (in their own way) when we have done wrong but rarely do we receive a reward of positive comments when we have done right. I honestly think some people just don't want us to feel good...I think it's their way of feeling better about themselves.
I could do with a little of this at the moment, it seems all that's pointed out to me are the things that are 'wrong' about my personality or the things I do wrong, or at least, perceived wrong by others.
