Giving compliments or saying "thank you" to employees and colleagues when they perform their jobs well is not a difficult thing to do. Furthermore, when done right, this can reinforce positive behaviour, as well as motivate and engage them in their work.
But how would you pay someone a compliment and make it sound sincere?
Do it now - When giving work compliments, always make it timely. Don't wait too long for the good deed to have passed before saying a word if thanks.
Be specific - This especially important when you want to reinforce positive behaviour in the employee. Instead of just saying a generic thank you, it is much better to phrase it in such a way that the person knows what he or she has been praised for. For example, you could say "Thank you for going out of your way to help that customer solve her problem."
Say it in public - Praise employees in public. Not only does this help boost their self-esteem and confidence at work, but it creates a positive culture in the workplace. Other employees can also learn what managers deem as positive work actions.
Reward appropriately - Reward positive behaviour according to its magnitude. You don't need to buy a plaque for every positive thing you see. The general rule.of the.thumb is that small actions call for a small rewards, while big actions call for bigger rewards.

Good Studying Habits
The following paragraphs are some of my own studying techniques that I used to master and help me through with my student life.
1. Make your own reviewer
Making your own reviewer is the most basic thing to do and the most powerful technique as well when preparing for exams. It is just like rewriting your notes into a different paper but just taking the most important key points which you think might be included and most probably will appear on the exams.
Some instructors were giving out the so-called "pointers" which will highlight the topics where they will pick some of the questionnaires. If that would be the case, this will make your reviewer making alot more easier.
Some people were photographic learner. They are the one who visualize what they saw when reviewing their lessons. They can easily recall in their memory what they memorize based on the exact locations on their reviewer. Making a reviewer helps these photographic learner to easily remember their lessons during exams.
2. Choose your own study time
Most of us will basically set a time as to when you will actually face your books and go over your notes but the major question is... "were you really able to start studying your lessons based on your own set time?" Well, I mean are you serious? As you were just on time thinking to start studying and keep on telling yourself that you will really start studying you mean is "really not yet ready" or "spare me some time before I start". Unless your mind is really set to start you can never start at all.
Most people prefer to study and review their notes during night just before they go to bed as to this time is almost quiet time where no distractions and no noise at all. Some people cannot study when everything that surrounds is distractions while others cannot study when the place is too quiet... The tend to fall asleep.
As I have one psychology book before, the best time to study your lessons is early in the morning just after you woke up and had your good night sleep. This is where scientific study proves that reviewing and studying notes during this time brings all the things you study into a maximum retention in your brain. Studying lessons before going to bed makes everything you study fall apart resulting to memory loss and feeling blank during exams, they added.
"I used to study also my lessons before during night before going to bed and I also admit the I really barely can remember the things I studied to cannot remember at all. Not until I have that techniques in the book I read, I began to study early in the morning."
Well, the only problem for this technique is that if you were not able to wake yourself up early in the morning and cannot review at all because your late already for your class.
Choosing your preferred studying time is still up to you. Just do it on when you think you can concentrate. It is you to decide after all.
3. Choose your perfect study environment
Some people prefers to study in a quiet place while some prefers in a noisy environment as I partially discussed on pointer number 1 above.
Being on a noisy study environment does not literally necessarily mean noisy surrounding. It could be in the living room where distractions of television is permissible or in your own room with a background music of your choice.
"Well, personally I prefer to study my lessons before with background music or with the television on. Without these background sounds, I could easily feel sleepy while going over my notes and ended up falling asleep."
4. Munch up some peanuts
Scientific studies proves that peanut has enzymes that enhances our brains to perform well to remember things in our memory. Some students all over the world did eat peanuts while reviewing their lessons.
"I personnaly did not try this theory but most of my cousins did it and they really testified that eating peanuts while reviewing helps alot during the examination."
5. Make sure to have enough rest before the day of examination
Having enough rest will simply means an easier absorption of ideas into your memory. Of course if you do not have enough rest before reviewing your lessons early in the morning, as I suggest, will just make you not able to absorb anything and may just make you sleep again while reviewing. Having enough rest also makes your brain refreshed and get a proper circulation of oxygen resulting to a optimum recollection of knowledge you stored during the review period.
6. Make sure not to cram
Most examinations have a time constraints. The most important thing to do while having the examination is not to cram or to panic when the time is running out and you cannot remember one of so many things you reviewed. Panicking will just make you mental blocked and cannot remember any of the things you studied. Just relax, calm down and try to remember, if possible go over the next question first and just get back to that question/s when everything is already been answered.
