Do you remember the last time you received an unexpected call, text or email from someone who intentionally 1 said something complimentary 2 to you? 你是否记得上次你接到一个电话,一条短信或者一封电子邮件,故意说有东西要赠送给你?
How did it make you feel? Did it brighten your mood? Did it bring a smile to your face? What impression did this person make on you? 你当时感觉如何?它是否让你的心情开朗?它是不是让你脸上出现了微笑?这个人给你留下了什么样的印象?
When I consider the different types of impressions we make on people, 当我考虑给人们留下了不同的印象时,
there are very few more powerful then when you do something unexpectedly to show people they are important to you. 当我们对一些人做一些意想不到的事来显示他对我们的重要性时,很少人会有更大的力量。

When you take your time to surprise people with acts of kindness or love, you will make them feel noticed, valued, and appreciated. 当你花时间去感受人们的善举或者爱时,你会使他们感觉他们是引人注目的,有价值的,和可欣赏的。
You will bring a smile to their faces and joy to their hearts. It will enhance their self-esteem and strengthen their self-confidence. 你会使他们面带笑容,心里很高兴。这会提高他们的自尊,增强他们的自信。
It will renew their energy and put a bounce in their step. It will draw them closer to you and you to them and create an extraordinary bond in your relationship. 这会使他们能量充沛,使他们跨越一大步。这会使他们接近你并在你们之间创建一个特别的约定。
