Dear Learning:
It is important to encourage a person, to tell a person you can do this, when “this” is progressing from step A to step B. For example a person who is very excited about playing the guitar and has dreams of becoming famous but is new to playing the guitar, encourage that person to practice more and become more skillful at it. But do not encourage that person to move from Step A to Step Z, like to move the big city with his guitar, with his beginning skill at it, and become famous.
Step A to B, then to C, then onward, one step of accomplishment at a time, that would be logical and compassionate, both.
