With all the great comments, I can add one I did not see. Much of my business is in SE Asia where I am language challenged - EXCEPT for one compliment - A SMILE - IT WORKS UNIVERSALLY and I can take people from glum and mean to happy and glowing. It seems most Americans they see do not have my contagious enthusiasm, so WAKE UP AMERICA AND SMILE - (hint: try it at home and at the office, too)

I may have learned this from you as a child Danni, but im definatly a complimenter..When the time is right, and i think something good about someone's job or i like another womens shoes etc.., i must tell. I always make sure to tell my husband when i get that "i think your sexy" feeling even if were just in the car.

Here's one for you Danielle - you ROCKED the panels today at the SHOP Symposium. You have a gift for asking good questions, clarifying and moving things along when needed. It was a joy to see you and be interviewed by you! Sorry we didn't get to connect before or after.

Hey, Danielle! I'm a new reader of your blog, having found my way here from the Boss of You blog. A couple years ago I made it a personal policy that if I thought something nice about someone I would make every effort to tell them. It's astounding how many people are being totally fabulous and don't even know!

One of my other personal policies is Sincere Gratitude. I give heartfelt thanks to the people in my life, however brief their appearance. I am grateful to those people who make my life a little bit easier, a little bit happier, and a lot more hilarious.

I'm so with you on this. Love your writing and all the the wise and inspiring comments here from others, too.

I used to work in Adam's Morgan, Washington D.C., home of the Compliment Man. He actually has dedicated his whole life to complimenting strangers, and having been a recipient many times, I believe him to be entirely sincere. Here's an article about him from the Washington Post:
