When was the last time you said something really nice to someone? And I mean really nice, not a left-handed compliment or the very obvious.
Over 25 years ago, when I arrived at her home, a friend said to me out of the blue, "You know, you are always very punctual."
No one had ever said that before. I remembered it, and took pride in my punctuality, and do to this day. But it was her compliment that spurred me to take pride in something that I hadn't particularly thought about.
Tell a person who is that she is good about remembering birthdays, being thoughtful to others. If there is a person who always asks if you want coffee before she gets some for herself, then tell her, "It's so nice of you to ask me if I want coffee; that's really good of you."
Compliments don't just please people, they spur us usually to repeat whatever the good action was.
Tell someone today that he/she did something good.

Ah, this is so very true. Sincere compliments give the sender a good feeling as well as the receiver. Thank you for posting this.
So true. I like the point you make.
