How important it is for every woman to know that she is beautiful! How important it is for every man to be sure that he is the strongest and most reliable! To understand this and to believe in this is only possible when you know that it is really true, and the proof of that can be the compliments that people around you tell you. The nice words said from the heart by people whose opinion we value can remain in our consciousness for a long time. Compliments carry a very strong positive charge; they are like small but very valuable gifts. And just as with any other gift, it feels good both to get one and to give one. And, of course, we should know how to do it right, in time, and most importantly from our heart.

To give compliments, or to praise the good qualities of the person, whom you want to feel good about themselves, is a whole science. First of all, one of the main rules is to give compliments only if you are sincere and say things from the heart. Of course if you already have a black belt in hypocrisy, then no one will even suspect that you are dishonest. Cheap flattery - this is what your verbal gifts will become if you actually do not see or do not mean what you are saying. It is impossible to look at a person with admiration and tell them that they look great or that their perfume is excellent, and they smell divine, if in reality you actually do not think that. At the very least you are running the risk of being laughed at, and in the worst case scenario you will run up against contempt. Therefore, be sincere in all your words, do not make a laughing-stock of yourself, and do not enter the scene in the role of a "brownnoser". If you really want to say something nice to a person in the form of a compliment, it should not be a problem to notice something that stands out, so do not miss a chance to tell them about it.

The second rule is compliments should be said in time. There is a definite time for every gift or surprise, and you should know or feel when that time is. To begin with, define what goal you are pursuing when you say kind words to a person. If it is flirting and you are just trying to charm your partner with your own keenness of observation, then you should say the compliment with a muted voice, and preferably in a setting where you will only be heard by the subject of your adoration. Then the compliments take on somewhat of a mysterious tint. If you want to make a display of your delicate taste in front of your boss, which of course just happens to coincide with his, then the praising words about his or her appearance or never-ending fairness of judgment should be said at the moment when he is addressing you directly, for example, at the time when he is greeting you.

As a rule, spontaneous or emotional compliments are also allowed. This is actually the type that is valued the most. They happen when at the sight of the person you have a strong emotion that is born in you, which you express, and it comes out as something like: "Wow!’, "Awesome!", and so on. Such effect is usually achieved by someone’s drastic change in the appearance.

Another very substantial compliment is a look. Eyes, as we all know, can say a lot. And when a person catches an admiring look on themselves, then whether it is the evaluation of his or her appearance, work, or anything else, he or she understands that they have been given the most valuable award and that they have worthily deserved it.

Compliments, kind words, and admiration are what a person will seek infinitely. No one will ever get tired of receiving compliments. If all of a sudden you are overtaken with embarrassment at the thought of giving someone a compliment, do not be afraid, this awkwardness gives a certain special charm to your words. No one will ever punish you for good words, they will just thank you.

Give compliments. People may drastically change their view about you once they hear a worthy remark directed at them. Watch the result, when you let go of the emotions and pour them out in the form of kind words on the addressee, you as if automatically become an authority for them in a way. Your girlfriend got a new hair style, who should she ask for an opinion - of course you, the person who has proven to be able to appreciate the real beauty; your boss has just launched a new project, who should he ask to evaluate it first - of course you, last time you praised someone's work and the person got even more inspired, and so on. Compliments, if they are sincere, carry a substantial weight. Even if you gave a wrong evaluation, but you expressed your true positive opinion, the person you expressed it to will have the picture of the world change immediately. Positive emotions are stronger than negative ones. This is exactly why everyone remembers them. So may the carrier and giver of kind positive emotions be you!
