Compliment
The biggest compliment I get is when someone tells me, 'You're so real'. Even if my journey isn't exactly like theirs.
Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
A simple compliment goes a really long way — for a guy to just come over and say, 'You have great hair' or 'I really like your dress', and then just smile and walk away. That's a great move, because he's sort of putting himself out there by doing that, but it won't lead to any embarrassment if the girl isn't interested.
I am suggesting that as we go through life, we 'accentuate the positive'. I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.
