Today I borrowed a friend’s car (red corvette) to run some errands. I stopped at the service station to fill it up with gas. There was a very good looking young man gettting gas as well. He asked me what year the car was. I replied that I didn’t know as it was a friend’s car. He then said, “Well your friend has very good taste in cars…and women.” I was so surprised, it took me a minute to get the words, Thank You, out of my mouth. I drove away feeling very good about myself…all because of a compliment from a young, good looking stranger.
Can we do that for other people? Help them feel better about themselves, just by paying a quick compliment. Of course, we can. It only takes a second to notice something good about another person and say it to him or her. A good truthful positive statement to another person can make the difference in how he feels about himself.
Will you pay someone a compliment today?
