It will brighten up their day and maybe they will be kinder to you in the future. Of all the different days we celebrate, National Compliments Day is one that makes us all feel good.
你多長時間會對朋友說一些贊美之詞?你贊美過你的老板嗎?當然,作為一年之中的這一天,我們沒理由不這么做。美國國家贊美日會在每年的1月24日舉行,那天人們會對彼此送上贊美之詞。如果某人表揚你,你會很快樂,所以你也應該贊美他人。如果有人表揚你,你一定也要向他說一些好話。贊揚你的老板。讓百貨商場的銷售助理明白他們的工作干得非常棒。這將讓他們的這一天變得光輝鮮艷,或許將來他們也會善待你。對于不同節日,國家贊美日將會是讓我們感到開心的節日。
So just what is a compliment? It is a polite expression of praise given to someone to make them feel good.It comes from the heart and is an important part of building relationships. To pay a compliment is a win-win situation. You feel good and the receiver of your compliment is also happy. It is a simple sign of honesty that can bring sunshine into another person’s day.

什么是贊美?贊美就是用尊敬的方式來表揚他人,讓他們感到高興。這種贊美是發自心底的,它也是建立關系的重要組成部分。贊美他人是利己利他的。首先你會感到高興,受贊美者也會無比激動。它是表達誠實的最簡單的方式,它也能讓他人在這一天當中充滿陽光。如今,贊美似乎比任何時候都重要。有時,我們繁忙不堪,壓力山大,沒有注意到他人。互聯網的出現讓面對面的交流逐漸減少。這種簡單,自然的技能需要成為人與人交流的最主要方式。通過簡單的贊美,你無法預測你將會建立什么樣的人際關系。
