Can we be able to encourage others to succeed?
Certainly, praise is part of a person's encouragement, there are people who often use praise to encourage others to continue on their way and achieve success, but the question we must ask ourselves is: To what extent is it necessary to praise another person?
To what extent is it necessary to praise another person?
If we praise another person it is necessary that this praise is at the height of the fact or event for which it is praised, for example: in some opportunities perhaps we have praised a person for small things that perhaps do not deserve to be praised, however some of you think that this serves to stimulate people to move forward and do much better.
When we praise another person for anything they do, we may be in the mistake of praising them when they don't really deserve it, in which case the person receiving the praise may understand that the praise is to determine that they have already achieved their goals and don't need to try harder, so progress towards success stops altogether.
Of course, praise is necessary, we can not pretend to stimulate a person to advance towards success at the point of pure whipping, however, praise should be quite sincere and get to say them to another person when he really deserves it.
I remember my childhood when I studied at school, my first steps were quite hard, especially in the sense of adaptation, however I still received praise from my parents, perhaps mistakenly and lack of maturity for not being in an adult stage I did not understand the message as it should be, On the contrary, I understood the praise from my parents as congratulations because I was doing well and that I should not try harder, it was with the passing of time when I understood that in that sense the praise from my parents meant an encouragement to keep fighting and not to feel that everything was already done and achieved.
Conclusion
Motivation is the engine that ignites the desire to keep fighting, to keep improving, which is why we should never rule out the possibility of encouraging others with praise, with the caveat that it is very important to give praise when the other person has really achieved substantial achievements.
It is also counterproductive not to praise at all to another person who is trying to do things well, but may faint in the attempt because it is not receiving positive encouragement from any, like everything in life simply the encouragement should come from timely and consensual praise and thus achieve in others a correct measurement system for the achievement of their goals.

Hello @carlos84!
I agree with you in the fact that we should praise when it is deserved otherwise we would not be doing good to the person and so I would give up the idea of doing better every day. I especially try to praise my son when you do your homework well because I know it encourages him to keep doing it that way. Greetings!
Hello @carlos84
Praising is part of the Arenal of tools you can have at hand to help someone to follow, however, doing it frequently already falls into something else, even something absurd.
People should know that the things they do is because it benefits them, regardless of whether they are praised or not, although there are those who seek praise for everything, and even speaks of a very low self-esteem.
Hello @carlos84 Motivation goes beyond simple praise, because it must move the soul, for someone to be truly motivated must put his soul in motion that drives him to get where he wants, with the required success, very good and thoughtful post.
Your topic is quite interesting, there are many points to consider, for example: the culture of the people, because there are many countries where a compliment or praise is something uncomfortable, they are not used to it and do not know how to handle it, in Latin countries it is something else Even for us it is even rude not to do it.
I also believe that everything should be done in fair measure, positive reinforcement is an excellent strategy for children or students, little sincere praise ends up being hypocritical, but as you say, everyone deserves to receive a praise when they are trying to do things well and best.
Greetings @ carlos84 Praise will always serve as a stimulus for the people who receive it, however sometimes giving someone praise even though they don't deserve it will motivate them to keep striving to do better.
