After reading the article and watching the video, I felt that the compliment can be really powerful. And it also made me think of one connection I had. When I was young, I always wanted to show off whatever I did, to my mom or dad. And I enjoyed showing off to them because mom or dad always said something good about me. When I draw something, my parents would come to my room and say 'My son is a great artist!'. And my mom and dad's compliments always made me feel really good. Probably, that is why I still believe that the compliments can be powerful. Even for the people who are sad you can say something good to them, so they can smile and not even think about the sad things that happened to them. It is really easy to make them be happy again if you know how to say really good things.
I also think that the word compliment is a magic word. You can make anyone laugh or smile with compliments. Just like what the video showed. When those compliment guys said something good to the students in the Perdue university, everyone who heard a good thing about them, laughed and appreciated it. And that really proves how magical and amazing the power of the word compliment is. Another proof is that I have felt the happiness before and I still do. From teachers, parents and friends, I get compliments at least one in two days. I think that the compliments are the happiest thing to be heard.
Why did I choose that picture? While I was searching for a picture that would match my blog post, and that picture caught me on the first sight. It shows that you can smile when you hear good things about you. The 'you' might not have the meaning that I am thinking of, but for me, the 'you' means the compliments. And that is why I chose this picture.
