You can lift anyone's spirit with a single comment. Compliments are one of the most extraordinary components of social life. If given right, they create so much positive energy that they make things happen as if by magic. They ease the atmosphere around two people and kindly introduce people to each other. Of course, there is a way to give compliments. And, just as important, there is a way to receive them. You need to know how to do both.
People benefit from being the objects of compliments, but you also benefit being givers of them. Recipients benefit from knowing that you notice and learn that you value them. So compliments are powerful in motivating continued efforts. People strive to do more of what brings praise from others.
So, here are 5 reasons why it’s a good choice to use more genuine compliments in your day to day life.
You can make someone’s day. That’s a nice thing to do.
Increased positivity. Keeping your focus on the positive parts in people expands your own positivity. You’ll notice more positive things about yourself, your own life and other things in your surroundings. What you focus on in your everyday life you’ll see everywhere, not just in other people.
You get what you give. Don’t keep this in the forefront of your mind while giving a compliment. It may make the compliment seem insincere and like you are just out to get something from the other person. But still, people often have a strong feeling of wanting to give what they got. Perhaps not right away, but over time reciprocity and a positive relationship can build. And in general, what you give you tend to get back from the world around you.
Attractiveness. Positivity, appreciation and being able to genuinely express yourself are three attractive traits both in personal and professional relationships. People tend to want to hang around and work with people that have such traits.
It’s fun. When you give a genuine compliment you ignite a spark of happy feelings inside of yourself.
But sometimes we protest or object to the compliment, those answers instantly suck the positive energy out of the air and deflate the giver. They make the giver feel stupid for noticing and commenting on something so unworthy of praise. They totally invalidate the person's judgment.
So, the only one way to receive a compliment is graciously, with a smile.
The art of receiving a compliment teaches us an important lesson about life. It tells us that how we feel is highly subjective, known only to us. And it isn't necessarily observable to the world.
If we allow ourselves to inhale the positive atmosphere created by compliments, it can be powerful enough to transform our feelings. ^^

Good family movie.. actually Io didn't want to watch this.. since its too girly for him.. but finnaly after struggling between Marley & Me and Push.. we decided to watch this.. wkwkwk.. but there is no regret to watch this.. ^^ "A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his."
its about a dog named marley.. the superactive dog (clearing dog).. that always want to run.. Marley is so funny.. naughty.. and love chewing very much.. (the worst dog in the world).. but afraid of thunder.. hueheheh.. and with 2 hours movie.. we told about Marley, that is faithfully moves with John (Owen Wilson) and Jennifer Grogan (Jennifer Aniston), through their life’s challenges (changing jobs, relocating, conceiving a child, miscarriage, post partum depression and illness). ^^
“I have this theory…that people can learn a lot from their dogs. Lessons on how to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Lessons for successful relationships. Think about it. Many of the qualities that come so effortlessly to dogs—loyalty, devotion, selflessness, unflagging optimism, unqualified love—can be elusive to humans.” -John Grogan, Author of Marley & Me
That there is something fine and beautiful about loving something (and someone) who is imperfect. That perhaps more joy and delight can be found in embracing someone's flaws than in trying to "fix" them. -yahoo.com
Do you have difficult to get up in the morning? hohoho.. I think this gadget is suitable for u.. hmm.. especially for someone in my mind.. (and.. myself too..) hihii... The alarm clock that runs away and hides to get you out of bed. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide, beeping all the while. You'll have to get out of bed to silence his alarm. Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time. Price: £45.00
Features Include:
Set your alarm and as soon as it goes off the Clocky will lurch forward and then move off in random directions for 30 seconds (ensure you have set the snooze time to 0).
A snooze function on the alarm.
When the snooze expires the clock will launch off.
A retro cream colour.
Do not place Clocky on surfaces higher than 3 feet.
Yesterday I've got pink dolphin's article from my friend.. actually as I know Pink dolphin only shows in Southeast Asia.. but this.. Pink dolphin appears in US? hohoho... nice.. ^^ The world's only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone.
Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.
Capt Rue originally saw the dolphin, which also has reddish eyes, swimming with a pod of four other dolphins, with one appearing to be its mother which never left its side.
