Give compliments.
If you want to live on the plus side of the social register, always give more compliments than you give complaints. I was walking down the sidewalk today, as I passed two people I heard one complaining about how unfair his boss was. I could not help noticing, and feeling a bit sorry for the person listening. If you want to help people flourish, give them positive feedback. If they don’t deserve it, give them at least more positive than negative… Everyone deserves a chicken dinner once in awhile
This raises the obvious question, what is a good compliment. It is not use of the words “nice,” “good,” “beautiful,” “pretty,” or “great.” You have to be creative for your compliment to have a positive effect.
The bottom line is, give compliments, be sincere, and make your compliment genuine.
