The Art of Giving Compliments
Guidance for Reciting
A person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated，so do not forget to compliment three people every day，which is probably the secret to keep yourself happy.
The key to giving compliments is sounding sincere so that the recipient of the compliment is truly flattered and appreciative of the compliment. An insincere compliment does not convey the same message. If you are giving the compliment for your own personal gain，your lack of sincerity will result in the person receiving the compliment not really feeling touched by your words. Sincere compliments are ******，timely and they are not premeditated. A sincere compliment is also often given in the presence of others.

赞赏的艺术
诵读导言
一个人最大的情感需要是得到别人的欣赏，所以请记住：每天赞美三个人；或许这也是让自己快乐的秘诀吧。
赞赏他人的关键是听上去要真诚，这样你的赞赏对象就会从心底里感到高兴，从心底里感谢你的赞赏。而不真诚的赞美传达的可不是相同的信息。如果你是想获得什么而赞赏别人，你的缺乏诚意只能导致你的赞赏对象不为你的言词所感动。真诚的赞赏简明、及时、自然而生，而且常常是当着其他人的面做出的。
口语点津
口语中，当人们被称赞的时候，经常用一句东西方思维都普遍接受的话，即“过奖过奖”（I am flattered./ You are flattering me）。可是，如果有朋友在欣赏你的照片的时候说“The photos flatter you！”可别以为是在恭维你而沾沾自喜哦。知道为什么吗？“The photos flatter you！”的意思是，“照片远比你本人好看”，这下，乐不起来了吧！
