Nice things to say to people and win them over

Do you recall or experience instances when someone’s words lifted your spirits and made your day shine a little brighter? We’ve all had those moments. Words, like rays of sunshine piercing through and through our burdened souls, have the power to inspire, uplift, and heal.

Or have you ever received a compliment that you felt insincere? We can tell, can’t we? There’s a thin line between flattery and a genuine compliment. To truly touch someone’s heart, our words need to come from our own. So the next time you feel the urge to compliment someone, take a moment.

Do not approach them casually even if they are acquaintance. Notice what truly stands out about them first, and speak from the heart. Recall the time someone mentioned that specific detail about you—how your eyes light up when you’re passionate or the unique way you tie your scarf. Felt good, didn’t it? Let me show you just how a handful of words can make all the difference.

Here are things to consider

Personalized Praises

Understand this, there are times when generic won’t do the trick. Recognizing these specific efforts with words like, “The way you handled that situation was impressive,” or “Your passion for painting is genuinely inspiring,” makes the praise deeply personal and even more impactful.

Encouraging Words in Tough Times

We all face our share of storms. It’s during these trying times that words of encouragement can be a beacon of hope. Just a simple, “I’m here for you, no matter what,” or “Your strength during these challenges is admirable,” can be the emotional shelter someone needs.

Appreciation for the Often Overlooked

Compliment those who make a difference behind the scenes, and often go unnoticed. Perhaps it’s the cleaner who keeps the banking hall sparkling or the silent contributor in group projects. Taking a moment to say, “Thank you for always being reliable,” or “Your consistency is truly admirable,” can make them feel seen and valued.

Words of Affirmation for Self-Growth

Seen someone push hard? A little nudge and a small affirmation can boost their confidence. “Keep going, you’re on the right track,” or “I believe in you and your dreams,” can be the wind beneath someone’s wings, propelling them to soar even higher.

 

The Ripple Effect of Compliments

From all that has been written so far, it doesn’t take a prophet to know that kind word can create ripples. Like that story of a man whose day was brightened by a stranger’s compliment, leading him to help someone else, and so on. Before you know it, a single kind phrase can touch the lives of countless others.

 

Tips for Delivering Compliments

However, it’s not just about what we say, but how we say it. Maintaining eye contact, offering a warm smile, and choosing the right moment can amplify the effect of our words.
