What Can You Do?
In Aesop’s fable “The Lion and the Mouse” he stated, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted”. By that notion this states whatever you said to someone they will forever remember what kind act you did. Next time you see a person give them a compliment, weather you say you like their shoes, their smile, their shirt, anything. Giving a compliment can mean a hundred words to them. Kindness is always the way to go no matter what, so give a compliment to anyone because it helps boost their self-confidence.It will forever be remembered, and it helps reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.
Giving a compliment to anyone that is having a bad day, or not it could boost their self-confidence and make their day better and brighter than it was. Giving compliments is a great way to spread the positivity we need in this world because there are so many people even though you don't see it, who are having a bad day. According to the article “Why Kindness matters” it stated, “By taking the time to help others, we’re not only giving them a better day, but their satisfaction and gratitude can make ours better as well” (Unknown, 2017). Change someone’s day for the better not the worse, be that good person. So let's be the person that does boost other people's confidence, and also make their day brighter.
From you giving someone a simple compliment like “I like your shirt” or “you look really pretty today”, they will forever remember what you said. Have you ever gotten a compliment on something, let's say a shirt, and after that you wore it pretty much every day? That was because you remembered the compliment and it made you feel more confident so you wanted to wear it all the time. Back to the quote I first started, it doesn’t matter the size of the compliment because you are still saying something you like about someone other than yourself. If you like someone's shirt tell them, because it can benefit both of you.
