I know how good it makes me feel when people say nice things to me, so it makes me happy to brighten someone else's day. Even if it's something external, like complimenting the grocery store cashier on her necklace, it makes me happy to see her smile. Thanks for the articulate reminder on how important this is!

It's similar to Mary Kay Ash's philoshopy, "Treat everyone as if they're wearing a sign that reads 'make me feel important.'" It costs you nothing and cements good relationships.

This month I am re-reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." That is the core of his message: make people feel important and they will love you. Sincere compliments are one of many ways to make a person feel important. My goal is to always remember that and put it into practice.

She said how I looked like I was glowing and that she had never seen me look so great. I cannot tell you how that has made me feel - instead of someone just healing from great worries and fears that an illness brings, I feel like my most beautiful self, and this permeates my personal life and of course, my business. I feel confidence return and I made several great sales calls right after those encouraging words. Thanks Lois for reminding us all how a few kind words can enliven and encourage our friends and co workers.
