Compliment people publicly

The brilliant physician and writer Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., and his brother John represent two radically different views on the subject of flattery. Dr. Holmes loved to collect compliments, and when he was older he indulged his pastime by saying to someone who had just praised his work,
“I am a trifle deaf, you know. Do you mind repeating that a little louder?”
John, however, was unassuming and content to be in his older brother’s shadow. He once said that the only compliment he ever received came when he was six. The maid was brushing his hair when she observed to his mother that little John wasn’t all that cross-eyed!
Everyone on the face of the earth likes a compliment. Some people like them because they stroke their egoes, some because they make them feel good. Either way it's important that we compliment people every chance we get, and do it in public. If you can thank someone for a job well done, or compliment their hard work publicly you will bring them far more joy than if you don't.
John 1:29-31 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."
In these verses John was complimenting Jesus openly and publicly. Not to stroke his ego but because it came automatic for him. Make compliments come automatically and all the rest will fall into place.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
