25 Unexpected Ways to Make Someone’s Day
25種意想不到的方法帶給別人快樂
Do you remember the last time that you received an unexpected call, text or email, someone who intentionally said something complimentary to you? How did it make you feel, did it break your mood? Did it bring a smile onto your face? What impression did this person make on you?
你記得最近一次接到意想不到的電話、意外地收到短信或者郵件,或者某個人刻意地夸贊你嗎?這讓你感覺如何?是否讓你的壞情緒煙消云散了?有沒有讓你的臉上帶上一絲微笑?你對這個人的印象如何?
When I consider the different types of impressions we make on people, there are very few more powerful then when you do something unexpectedly to show people they are important to you. It could be a simple text message telling a friend how much you value the friendship or a short email to a co-worker complimenting him or her on the way he or she handled a difficult situation at the office today.
細想一下我們留給人們的各種印象,恐怕你沒有為你所在乎的人做過太多的出乎意料的具有正能量的事。一個簡單的信息就能告訴你的朋友,你很珍惜你們之間的友誼,或著當同事工作上遇到困難時時發一封簡短的郵件問候一下。
