Today’s act of kindness is to compliment a friend. Though it sounds simple, it can really help make a person's day to make them feel better about themselves if they’re feeling sad. It is also something that can brighten their day even if they aren’t feeling sad. Whether it’s telling them they’re shirt looks good, that they have a nice smile, or even just saying thank you for being an amazing friend.

It is important because some people might have a lot of stress in their lives or maybe something just happened that made them feel upset or maybe someone has been bullying them. The truth is, a simple compliment is really amazing because sometimes, that's all it takes to help someone feel better about themselves.

I hope you'll go out of your way to compliment a friend because you can never be too nice, and even the smallest of compliments can change a person's day.

Complimenter une ami:

Ton acte de gentillesse aujourd'hui est de complimenter une amie. Ça a l'air simple, mais il peut aider une personne sent mieux si il ou elles sont tristes.

C’est important parce-que certaines personnes sont stressées ou peut-être il est triste, ou peut être quelqu’un les intimide. La vérité est qu'un simple compliment est vraiment incroyable parce-que parfois, c'est tout ce qu'il faut pour aider quelqu'un à se sentir mieux.

J’espère que vous essayez de complimenter un ami parce que vous ne pouvez jamais être trop gentil, et même le plus petit des compliments peut changer la journée d’une personne.
