An encouraged person will eventually get his drive from encouragement he becomes more dependent. A person that never really receives encouragement learns to move out of spite he becomes more independent.

What may intimidate a man is a woman who thinks with her mind before she feels with her heart. Nevertheless what determines the strength in the man is his ability to accept one when he sees one.
