Compliments…

Everyone loves compliments. I have noticed of late how important a compliment is, especially when you are having a bad day at work or school. You could be pissed off or sad for any reason, known or unknown, but have you ever noticed how a compliment changes your mood instantly? I have tried this and I want every person reading this to try it out and check what happens post compliment process.

Process:

  • Find a person at work (or at school or in a mall) who looks extremely dull and extra sad for the day.
  • Go to them and just say, “Hey, nice shirt,” or “Nice shoes,” or “I like your style.”
  • Remember to say this with a slight smile just like this :)



  • Check the smile on that person’s face instantly.

Result:

You will notice that you have done your good deed for the day. That smile on the face of a sad person would make your day. Even if your day sucks, don’t wait for a compliment. Compliment others and you’ll see the difference for yourself.

Compliment others not only for their appearance but for other good things. Learn to appreciate actions, encourage them, support them and make people around you happy. You never know what the other person is going through, all you could do to help is compliment them. I have noticed that this trick works on all kinds of people: social, anti-social, outgoing, sad people, happy people and all kinds available in the society. :P

Go out today and try it for yourself. You never know, a compliment could help you get the person you have been waiting for all this time. Start complimenting and start being happy. Find happiness in little things of life. :)


P.S: Try at your own risk. Don’t blame me if the consequences turn out to be something totally different.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
