Art Williams said, you gotta pretend everyone you meet has a flashing sign on their chest with words like,
“Say something good to me.”
“Make me feel special.”
Dale Carnegie says that honest & sincere compliments are a great way to win friends & influence people.
Here’s how to do it.
Learn to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.
I talked with a great freedom crusader other day who’s taken her grand-daughter in to raise as her own because the little girl’s mom isn’t in a good space to be a mom right now.
What do you see in that situation?
Here’s what I see.
Love, courage, responsibility, and a child that wouldn’t have a home, who now has one.
Extraordinary.
It’s easy look around and see parents, friends & people who get up every day & move forward, even though life can be hard & say…
“That’s just life.”
It’s just as easy to see heroes amongst us.
That’s what real compliments are all about.
Notice the extraordinary things people do and tell them.
An essential part of rapport.
