Let me tell you a story.
There once was a man who was a failure in everything he did. He
managed to get a decent job though, but his co-workers continued
to belittle and mock him because he can't seem to get anything
right.
On the contrary, his boss was a persuasion expert. Instead of
scolding the man, his boss motivated him and made him a much
better person.
Whenever the man made a mistake, his boss would say, "It's ok. We
all make mistakes all the time. I know you will learn from this
experience and you'll do much better next time." This act boosted
the man's ego.
Whenever the man did something right, even if it's the littlest
thing, his boss would praise him and say, "You're very much
improved. Good job!"
His boss would sometimes even assign him good qualities that he
may not even possess yet.
Because the boss expected the man to be capable of doing great
things, and by assigning him qualities that he may not even
possess at that moment, the man became highly successful.
The reason?
If you expect and assign good qualities to someone, that person
will exert voluntary effort to live up to your expectations.
