Since 2003, National Compliments Day has been celebrated on the first day of March. This day was created to weave a bit more positivity into everyday life. Why shouldn't we be kind to each other when someone looks good, for example? Actually, we only give compliments when things go well – and not everyone does that consistently. That's quite odd when you know that being appreciated is a human need. GENTS fully supports National Compliments Day. Today we give you tips on how you can easily receive compliments and then give them to other people. Make this National Compliments Day a success too!

Receiving and of course also giving

'Do good and good will come to you'. If you want to receive compliments on National Compliments Day, you must also be willing to give them. Since complimenting doesn't come naturally to everyone, GENTS also offers tips here:

1. Be specific about what you find special about that person. Simply name what it is that makes them deserve a compliment. Try not to make remarks that could apply to any other random person. You need to make complimenting on National Compliments Day truly personal.
2. Compliment someone in a way that suits you. On National Compliments Day you don't have to compliment someone face to face. You can do it in writing, singing or even shouting. Whatever you like!
