WBTV in Charlotte has a "Good News" section during their evening broadcast, which is a welcome positive note in a market where news has predominantly become little more than a crime report. As an example, they recently they highlighted a kindergarten class that had a week of "kindness training" and how it can be contagious.
Today they featured a pair of Purdue University students who are known as the Compliment Guys. The are touring the East coast courtesy of Kodak on a Brightside Tour. To get a feel for what they're doing, there is video of them in action. The compliments aren't especially deep or insightful, but all seem to produce a positive uplifting response.
When I saw this I was reminded of the short film "Validation" (embedded below) that I watched last fall. It took me a few minutes to find and at over 16 minutes it'll take you a few minutes to watch, but I can almost guarantee the smile on your face if you do.
If you can mean it, trying telling someone they are amazing. You just might get a smile in return.
Accentuate the positive!
