I am studying the intonation and pronunciation of English. Your comments or notes on points of the intonation, following the reading, would be appreciated.
You can make someone's day. That's a nice thing to do.
Increased positivity. Keeping your focus on the positive parts in people expands your own positivity. You'll notice more positive things about yourself, your own life and other things in your surroundings. What you focus on in your everyday life you'll see everywhere, not just in other people.
You get what you give. Don't keep this in the forefront of your mind while giving a compliment. It may make the compliment seem insincere and like you are just out to get something from the other person. But still, people often have a strong feeling of wanting to give what they got. Perhaps not right away, but over time reciprocity and a positive relationship can build. And in general, what you give you tend to get back from the world around you.
Attractiveness. Positivity, appreciation and being able to genuinely express yourself are three attractive traits both in personal and professional relationships. People tend to want to hang around and work with people that have such traits.
It's fun. When you give a genuine compliment you ignite a spark of happy feelings inside of yourself.
Thanks, SheriHurlbut. It is very helpful for me to study the intonation of English.
