Make a Mark by Noticing What’s Different and Complimenting It
This morning I was taken aback by a statement that I read in an online newsletter. According to the writer, the number one question men hate to be asked is this: ‘Do you notice something different?’ Well, I’ve been asked that question so many times and I’ve never had a dislike of the question. I believe we can make a huge difference when we notice what’s different and compliment it - particularly in relationships and friendships.
People want to be appreciated and loved. They want to know that they look good. They want their labor to be valued. People want to be recognized for their efforts. By noticing what’s different, you communicate to the person that you recognize their efforts. By complimenting it, you communicate that you appreciate what the person has done. This raises a person’s spirits and encourages them to continue improving. Make a mark by noticing what’s different and complimenting it.
