I found this quote because it is around Thanksgiving. This quote is a nice one because it shows the different effects of praise and thankfulness on people I find that a very interesting outlook on this subject. Praise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with; it makes a wise man modest, but a fool more arrogant. Feltham. I find this a very truthful and well-rounded outlook on Praise and Thankfulness.
The quote Feltham said spoke to me because it kind of brought me to reality with how true it was. As much as I hate to say it I believe everyone at some time has let praise go to their head at some time rather it is because of power, love, or even just the feeling of being appreciated. That can sometimes go to your head without you even realizing it.
On a lighter note I really enjoy this time of year especially Thanksgiving because it is the time to show your appreciation for things. It is one of the few times people just sit down and really look at the world and what they have. Just to say thanks and really appreciate what you have in life. I have always enjoyed seeing that just stepping back and seeing all of what you really have. Sometimes I wonder if people start to lose that appreciation for what they have and realize that someone else could be just were you are or even worse. So be thankful for what you have and have a wounderful holiday.
