VALUE OF A COMPLIMENT



"Never underestimate the power of one well-timed compliment. It has the power to change a person's entire perpsective on life. It has the potential to change a person's plotline for eternity. The right word at the right time can be the catalyst for someone's miracle."

The Grave Robber
