Day 18 – Give someone
a compliment
You’ve probably experienced what it feels like when someone
else says something nice to you or compliments you. Even a very simple
compliment can brighten your day, and make you feel better about yourself. Make
it a habit to pay people compliments. When something strikes you about someone
else- a nice outfit, a beautiful smile - recognize it with a sincere
compliment. That someone might be a classmate or teacher, or a complete
stranger. Going out of your way to be kind to others is very fulfilling! Not
only is it a way to make others happy and boost their self-esteem, looking for
positive things to say about people will help you keep an optimistic outlook on
life! Go out of your way to compliment five people every day. Maybe it’s a
friend who looks sad, or the stranger on your bus you’ve wanted to introduce
yourself to, or anyone else you talk to during the day. Try to make it a habit
you can put to action in your daily life. Compliment others whenever the
occasion arises. Maybe you won’t be able to remember to compliment five people
every day, but you can still be complimentary just by saying kind things to
others.
Constant
kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes
misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer
