Want to put a smile on someone’s face, or make someone’s day? It’s easier than you think. All it takes is saying something nice. A compliment does things to a person’s self-esteem and state of mind that is immeasurable. What happens to you when a nice thing is said about you? You feel good, of course. But what gives a compliment an even bigger impact is when it’s unexpected. When someone comes out of the blue to say ‘good job,’ or a person you do not even know gives you a compliment, it’s likely to send you through the roof. And that’s all it takes to make someone’s day. So, if you appreciated a co-worker’s hard work, tell him about it. Congratulate your kid, or someone else’s kid, about her 100% on the science test. It’s a simple but powerful way to put a smile on someone’s face.

For much of my life, I underestimated the value of kindness. It seemed too simple and too easy to be worthwhile. But now that I am older, I realize that being kind is one of the sweetest gifts you can give to loved ones and strangers.
