Seeking the good in others

- Be careful what you say about others because this influences how they see you. It's a subconscious phenomena called spontaneous trait transference. If you're in the habit of highlighting people's positive qualities and their attributes, people are more likely to perceive you in a positive light. And the reverse is also true. When you magnify others' faults and talk badly behind their backs you become associated with those negative qualities. So the principle here is that you want to actively seek the good in others. When you do this, it shapes how you interact with them and how they feel in your presence. And when you acknowledge positive qualities in the presence of others you benefit by creating ripples of positive affinity.
