not love her inspite of the fact that she served him to the best of her capacity. In another case, the owner of the big business had this complain that his manager behaved in a perverse way inspite of the fact that he was drawing a fat salary. Thus the doctor had to tackle so many complaints from his mentally ill patients. While examining these patients, the doctor took care to find out about the nature of the patient, about his ego, about his sympathies, about his selfishness and munificence. He also tried to figure out whether his patients appreciated the good qualities of others and rewarded others for their good work and so on. Thus, the doctor used to find out so many things about his patients and thus, understanding their nature, he would advise them to behave in a specific way. Thus for example, he pointed out that (1) Everyone is more interested in himself than in others, so in order to please people we should show more interest in others; (2) Each individual likes to hear about his good points and he is happy when you appreciate him. The doctor, therefore, advised that we should learn to appreciate the good qualities and good work of others; (3) Each one of us desires that the services that he has rendered should be appreciated, may be, by just two words of approval and affection or gratefulness. So, the doctor advised the patient that one should always use such words of appreciation for the work and service rendered by others as are appropriate on that occasion; (4) Every one of us feels happy when someone renders service to him. So we should always render services
