Encouragement

When someone is striving, trying hard to be successful, don't be discouraging when they hit a bump in the road. 

Don't be all negative with, "Well, I really didn't think it would work out..." or worse, "I told you so".
Encourage them! Don't be discouraging just because you don't think that something will be successful, or that something will happen.

Be encouraging with, "This is just a bump in the road, a hiccup. Look how far you've come already. Look at what you've accomplished. You've got the drive, the smarts, the potential to make this happen. You CAN do it!"

Just because you don't see something as possible, that doesn't mean it can't happen. I'm sure that people didn't believe that there was any need for an ark when Noah built it, but the flood did come.

Don't discourage; encourage. Open your mind to the possibility of something happening. Accept the possibility instead of the impossibility. 

If you can't say anything encouraging, just don't say anything. Whatever you do, don't be negative! Stop making things harder. Be a help, not a hindrance.
