Power of compliments

Been missing for some time and now I'm BACK! So as the title said, today I am going to share my opinion on compliments.

I believe everyone get praise from somebody at some point in their life. If you don't, consider changing your attitude or behavior. Imagine you are having a bad day and all of sudden you receive a sincere compliment, how do you feel? Ecstatic? Absolutely. It changes your mood from sorrow to merry, and made your day. Complimenting can have a big impact to our feelings. It gives you the message that you are cared, appreciated and valuable.

According to the new research by Japanese, compliments help to improve our performance which is similar to cash reward. Scenario like this: A waitress was not in the mood one day, but she have to show her happy side to the customer as that is one of her job. One of the customer told her that her smile is beautiful, it motivates her to work harder and perform better for the rest the day. It is not difficult to give expression of admiration to someone, if you are shy, you can start with praising your own family members and friends. You eventually get used to it and give plenty of compliments to everyone.

Compliments are not simply statements or observations. Giving out compliments also shows that you pay attention to more than yourself. For examples, "I like your dress, it looks good on you", "Your make up is on point today", "I like your preference of music". The one who give compliment like these put an effort and notice something different today. Trust me, I feel so good when people do this hehehe. A better way of it is to point out what do you like about their personality/ how they inspire you. This only applicable to friends that you have known for some time, or else strangers might feel that you are obviously lying as you do not know them well. Praising a person's characteristic shows you are really into that individual as a friend, or more.

I dare say everything is a cycle such as life, karma as well as good vibes, your compliment can lead a domino effect. You made a person delightful, she/he usually will try their best to spread the good mood making the other person cheerful. Receiving a compliment is no doubt a happy dose, so why not. Start complimenting, make their day a marvelous one and your day an astonishing one.
