Dale Carnegie: Appreciation

“You have it easily in your power to increase the sum of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged.”
- Dale Carnegie





It only takes a few short seconds for you to pass along a compliment or lend a helping hand. It does not benefit you to go through days, let alone weeks, without showing others appreciation or gratitude. Here are some tips on how to begin doing so:

• Smile
• Make the other person feel important, and do so with sincerity
• Offer honest appreciation
• Be a good listener, encourage others to talk about themselves
• Make it a point to give at least one compliment a day -- you may be surprised at how this simple act will improve your day, too
