To Your Face

If someone says to your face, "Your photos are great," you may think, "You are just being nice."

From A Friend

But if you hear, "Our friend said your photos are great," your heart jumps.

This is called the "Windsor effect."

⚡ TRY IT
✈️ Which praise feels bigger?
You
Friend
Photo lover
Try both buttons. Compare the hearts!
"Your photos are great!"
"Haha, you are just being nice. 😏"
"Hey! Our friend said your photos are great!"
"Really?! That makes my day! 🤩"
🗣️ To their face🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
✈️ Via a friend🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
🏆 Praise from behind feels many times bigger! And the friend who passed it on is liked too. ⭐
Praise From Behind

So it is a good idea to praise people when they are not there.

Words Travel

Good words always reach the person.
