A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.

A nasty case of laryngitis has plagued me for the past five days. For better or worse, I decided to head to work today. To ease my throat I brought along a bag of Halls lozenges. Being on the commuter train with nothing better to do I actually looked at the wrapper and found it full of words of encouragement: Keep your chin up. Conquer today. Be resilient. Elicit a few “wows” today. You got it in you. Dust off and get up.
While I rather prefer the Baci chocolate wrappers with their words of love, nonetheless I appreciated Halls’ words of encouragement.
Sharing my new discovery with my commuter buddy across from me, he read all the texts, took out his pen and added his own:
He had a point.
Confucius is alive and well...
