Sometimes focusing on the good is much more effective than focusing on the bad. Rather than criticize, we should encourage. Rather than tear down, we should build up. It warms a person's heart to receive sincere compliments and positive comments.
While we don't want to perpetuate inflated egos or cockiness, a little support never hurts. For those who are especially down, who are in need of the encouragement, kind words can go far.
So next time, when you're busy pointing out someone's faults...just take a moment to think - maybe it would be better if you pointed out their better qualities, their strengths. After all, this could be you at some point.
