Last Sunday on the flight from BJ back to SH, I chatted with an indian girl sitting beside me. Then a male westerner passed by our seat and then he stopped and looked at me :” You speak very good british English. Did you study in London before? “ Though I didn’t think my English was as excellent as he said, I was thrilled to hear such a good compliment:-) Then I thanked him for his nice words.
You know what, I was happy for the whole evening. This is the magic of compliment. He made my day, though we don’t know each other! So why not start to compliment others, of course sincerely:-)? Then I can make other people happy too by just saying a few words, which cost nothing!
