Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. - William Arthur Ward, college administrator, writer (1921-1994)

Dear Avs,
Thanks for sharing. The quote recalls one of Carnegie Courses.
"Try honestly to make the other person feel important, and do it sincerely."
- Dale Carnegie
Become genuinely interested in other people - Smile. Be a good listener - Encourage others to talk about themselves. Talk in terms of the other person's interests. Make the other person feel important - and do it with sincerity.
Therefore, no flattery, no criticism, no ignorance, but encourage others is the best way.
Best regards,
John

Flatter me , and I may not believe you,
Criticize me, and I may not like you,
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you,
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

How amazingly true !
If I can interpret with my own equivalents then the actions are
Flatter Exaggeration
Criticize- Unjust
Ignore- Insult
Encourage Develop.
Obviously the first three are out, leaving the fourth as the sole winner.
As usual a nice one from Mr AVS,
