Compliments

In Wananga we have been working on giving people deep compliments. We had a piece of paper and we could draw something in the middle and then we would go round writing compliments. Instead of writing surface compliments like "Your really nice", "I like your hair today", "You have have a good smile" or something like that. For a deeper compliment you could say "You are a very caring person and you help put your friends" it has to be meant from the heart. The compliments that really hit me were "You always come out as a warm and a friendly person" and "Such a good friend to others and funny". I felt really good but also surprised that I got really good compliments. I felt like people actually cared about me and could see deeper things about me. When I gave compliments I felt good that someone was getting something really nice and could see the good side of themselves.
