Step 1
How to cheer up a person? It is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. It is not enough to tell him "cheer up", "be cheerful", "hold on", etc. People can have real reasons for sadness. If you see that the person is upset about something, ask him what happened. He may want to tell you about himself. At such a moment, in order to help a person, sometimes it is enough just to listen to him. In other cases, good advice or participation may be needed. It is worth mentioning here another person who was previously in the same sad situation, and tell how exactly he got out of it. This story should not sound like a direct guide to action. The main task is to show a person that he is not alone in his misfortune and that there is a way out of any situation.
Step 2
How to motivate for success? Motivation can be positive or negative. If you see that a person can achieve success, has all the necessary qualities and resources, draw his attention to these factors. Tell him about his talents, abilities, best qualities. And push him to take decisive steps, pointing out the negative consequences of inaction. Let him see the desired scenario and understand the possibility of an undesirable development of the situation.
Step 3
How to support in times of failure? In order for your support to be truly valuable to a person, you need to understand what exactly is value to him. The help does not have to be material. Other resources can be significant too. This is, for example, the time that you devote to communication. Both your experience and your attention can be significant. Often it's enough just to be there.
Step 4
It is important to bring a person positive in everything. Call him by name, be interested in his affairs, find time to communicate with him. Naturally, we cannot devote enough time to all the people we meet on our way, but we are still able to show a bit of participation.
