World Compliment Day

World Compliment Day is celebrated on March 1 of every year. World Compliment Day marks the fundamental human need for appreciation and acknowledgment. Nothing motivates a human being other than being complimented and recognition always gives a positive energy and makes people happy. In business, if you provide a genuine appreciation for someone, it will give them more power, and it helps to raise productivity. It also makes that person more dedicated to the business than before.

“I can live for two months on a good compliment.” – Mark Twain.
