When were you last cut down
by the sharp sword of criticism?
Or, more to the point, how
lately have you mowed
somebody else down with
sarcastic, biting words?
We all need well-intentioned,
constructive criticism from time
to time. We learn to grow and
develop from the disagreeable
things others tell us about
ourselves, and if it's
administered in Mary Poppins'
fashion, with a spoonful of tact
and gentleness, it is usually not
to hard to take.
This is the type of criticism,
however, of which we give
precious little and seldom get.
* * *
Most criticasters are harsh,
and blunt, and the recipients
react to this attack on their
self-esteem by either putting up
defenses of anger and
resentment, or shrivelling up and
withdrawing.
It's strange, but true, that
most of us find it easier to rip a
person up than to build him up.
As members of the human
race we often seem loathe to tell
our families, our students, our
employees, our bosses and our
friends that we appreciate them.
But we experience no
difficulty at all in informing
them what it is we find wrong
about, them.
* * *
Psychologists inform us we
criticize because we, ourselves,
,_feel inferior. Gossip is a
judgement of this type and is
generally motivated by jealousy
or insecurity. Small people find
it easier to tear someone down
than to try and build themselves
up.
performance, but do we ever
think to tell them so?
A good rule for showing
gratitude is "do it now." Don't
put it off. Speak your
appreciation whileyour gratitude
is fresh and strong and before
the impulse dies away.
Appreciation and
encouragement is the stuff and
substance children thrive on.
Many people are stunted all their
lives because they experience
little or no praise for the efforts
of their early years. The critical
remarks they constantly hear
start such deep seated emotional
problems they can not learn to
cope with life and often develop
very critical natures themselves.
* * *
Many people contribute daily
acts to make our lives more
comfortable and pleasant ... the
clerks in the stores, milk men,
hair dressers, garbage collectors
to name only a few. These are
our fellow human beings whose
day would be a little more
pleasant if we took the time to
express to them our genuine
appreciation.
No doubt about it . . . we'd
all be a little happier if we'd just
use the two magic words a bit
more often .. . "Thank you."

Valentine's Day comes on the
feast day of two different
Christian saints named
Valentine.
Like many another young
man they both lost their heads.
Their loss, however, was not
due to any ethereal fantasy of
infatuated love, but was a literal
loss when the Romans chopped
off their heads for their Christian
beliefs.
The name "Valentine's Day"
really came in through the back
door. The festival originated in
early Roman times when a
celebration called Lupercalia was
held every February 15 in honor
of Juno, goddess of women, and
marriage, and Pan, the god of . nature.
After the spread of
Christianity, churchmen tried to
give a Christian meaning to the
pagan festival and Pope Gelasius
changed the Lupercalia festival
to Saint Valentines Day,
February 14. But the
sentimental meaning of love and
marriage remained to the present
time.
OLD CUSTOMS
Years ago young people held
many beliefs in connection with
Valentine's Day. •
Some unmarried girls thought
if they pinned five bay leaves to
their pillows on the Eve of St.
Valentine's they would see their
future husbands in their dreams.
Other young ladies rose early
February 14 to peek through
their keyholes. If they saw only
one object their hopes for
marriage that year were dashed
but if they saw two objects they
felt assured of marital success.
The expression, "He wears his
heart on his sleeve," came from
a Valentine custom. In the1700's
young people chose their
valentines by writing them on
slips of paper and then drawing
them by chance. After thawing
lots, each young man pinned the
paper with his lady's name on
his sleeve and wore it for several
days.
Valentine popularity
probably reached its height in
the 1880's when young ladies
were often presented
with expensive gifts and very
ornate cards. Some of these
decorated with feathers, pearls,
satin, lace, ribbon, sea shells
could cost as much as $10.00.
Now a days we continue to
exchange sentimental cards, and
while most of the superstitions
connected with St. Valentines
Day have disappeared it's nice to
be reminded that "somebody
loves and admires us."

What about the other side of
the coin . the expression of
gratitude?
We have said that we shrivel
and dry up with criticism. By
the same token, we . know how
we blossom wheir complimented
on a job or a duty well
performed. We experience a
glowing sense of achievement
that makes us want to perform
even better.
* *
We tell ourselves that we are
above expecting any thanks or
appreciation from our cohorts
when we put forth our best
efforts on their behalf. But if
we're honest, we have to admit a
feeling of disappointment at
their seeming ingratitude.
This lack of appreciation
hurts the victim, to be sure, but
it may hurt the one who fails to
give it more, because he may
make an enemy, or at least a
disinterested acquaintance or
worker, when he might have
made a friend or strong ally.
Recently, I asked a young girl
at her first job how she was
getting along.
She answered bewilderedly,
"Well, I really don't know . . .
my boss has not told me I'm
displeasing him but he hasn't
told me I'm doing alright
either.",
Ah, there's the rub ...
I tried to assure her if he
hadn't complained she was likely
pleasing him.
* * *
But it is not enough to simply
feel gratitude . . . it has to be
demonstrated.
We may appreciate the fact our
children, or any of our fellow
beings are turning in a good
