阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
    It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone  away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I wrote out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,’’ he said, "you've looking after us really well." Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunshine to the human spirit; no flower can grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism; we are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such benefit?
    In fact, to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort but will reward both the giver and the recipient with a happy day. Let’s learn to give credit to people around us.
