Amplify the good

Everyone has some good traits in them.  Speak of these good elements and it will amplify them.  When praised for their good traits, individuals will be encouraged to focus on them.  The not so nice elements will then be diminished and will fall away.  In this way you help the individual, yourself and the community you live in.
