Ask the important people in your life what they would
like engraved on their tombstone. Chisel it into your
memory but don’t mention it again. Then, when the
moment is right to say “I appreciate you” or “I love
you,” fill the blanks with the very words they gave you
weeks earlier.
You take people’s breath away when you feed their
deepest self-image to them in a compliment. “At last,”
they say to themselves, “someone who loves me for who
I truly am.”
