Compliments…

Everyone loves compliments. I have noticed of late how important a compliment is, especially when you are having a bad day at work or school. You could be pissed off or sad for any reason, known or unknown, but have you ever noticed how a compliment changes your mood instantly? I have tried this and I want every person reading this to try it out and check what happens post compliment process.

Process:

  • Find a person at work (or at school or in a mall) who looks extremely dull and extra sad for the day.
  • Go to them and just say, “Hey, nice shirt,” or “Nice shoes,” or “I like your style.”
  • Remember to say this with a slight smile just like this :)



  • Check the smile on that person’s face instantly.

Result:

You will notice that you have done your good deed for the day. That smile on the face of a sad person would make your day. Even if your day sucks, don’t wait for a compliment. Compliment others and you’ll see the difference for yourself.

Compliment others not only for their appearance but for other good things. Learn to appreciate actions, encourage them, support them and make people around you happy. You never know what the other person is going through, all you could do to help is compliment them. I have noticed that this trick works on all kinds of people: social, anti-social, outgoing, sad people, happy people and all kinds available in the society. :P

Go out today and try it for yourself. You never know, a compliment could help you get the person you have been waiting for all this time. Start complimenting and start being happy. Find happiness in little things of life. :)


P.S: Try at your own risk. Don’t blame me if the consequences turn out to be something totally different.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
