Don't mention a person's past mistakes when they are trying to change. That's like throwing rocks at them while they climb a mountain, meaning always appreciate and encourage those who dedicate so much effort to be a better version of themselves.

Oftentimes, a lot of people do condemn people based on their past. At times, due to the privilege of knowing more about a particular person, they tend to take advantage of it. It might interest you to know that people hardly believe the past can erase or eradicate. Past mistakes occur due to negligence, ignorance, and low maturity level. But as we all grow, we begin to understand better ways to avoid these problems and how we can make amendments to the past. Therefore, whether you’re a friend, brother, or casual individual who knows about people's past dealings, and you know vividly well they’re trying to make significant changes, learn to give them that wholeheartedly support. You do not have to criticize or assure them that they cannot change. You need to understand that change is possible and constant. And the quicker we realise our past mistakes and start correcting them, the better we end up living a perfect life.

Finally, what you say to people during thriving and hardworking moments matters a lot. It shows how caring, supportive, and interested you’re in seeing them achieve the best. So, encourage people and look forward to greatness.
