German Compliments To Make Someone’s Day

A wonderful group of wise people like to say that actions speak louder than words. Which is of course true. Really, they are not wrong. However, words also leave a big impact on us, as they influence our actions and reactions. Most especially when those words are nice words as they have the power to keep us motivated, confident, grateful, happy.

Therefore, it is important that we know and are aware of the nice words or even the not nice words we say to others (even though, not nice words sting). Because being aware can help us read the room and stay mindful about our surroundings. Now, with that in mind, one can say that it is good to share nice words when possible. Besides, doing so will give you a greater chance of being on Santa’s Nice List. Who doesn’t want to be on Santa’s Nice List, even if one doesn't think he exists?
