Compliments

   I have decided that there should be more random compliments in the world. People are insecure in most of their social interactions (however well they may mask it,) and I'd like to think that random compliments could help to change that. All we hear about at work, in the media, and among friends is what we're doing wrong. We seldom hear an "attaboy" at work, unless we go above and beyond the call of duty, and the person who benefits takes it upon themselves to tell your superiors how awsome you are. Give a compliment, or a statement of gratitude to someone. Be sincere, but take the extra 30 seconds. We spend too much time running from place to place, and not stopping to think about the people we run past. You never know what the ripple effect might be, but why not compliment someone on their shoes? If nothing else, you just made their next 15 seconds, or potentially their entire morning commute.
