Random compliments make a day better

(Irrespective of your gender)

Drop the one small thing that made you feel good today. Often we look for “happiness” while we rush through life like there will be time later to pause and enjoy. Little moments should be cherished and enjoyed - makes the day to day more meaningful. Mine: 1. 5 small red roses and 3 white roses in the balcony. Waking up to that felt good and makes me smile today. 2. 5 minutes in the balcony and the morning sun. therapeutic!

Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful. To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.

Is it considered offensive? Is it cheesy if I tell anyone that their new haircut looks pretty ? (It is what it is) Where do you draw the line? My take: It should sound modest and respectful given that its a work environment. But you never know when she might get triggered. Wierd rules.

Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in. Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my hair. What about you all?

A tiny seed dreamed of reaching the sun. It pushed through the rock, splitting its shell. It stretched towards the light, reaching higher and higher. Finally, it broke through the surface, basking in the sun's warm glow. But instead of a vast world, it found itself in a pot, surrounded by other plants. The seed realized its dream of reaching the sun wasn't about how high it grew, but where it grew. Moral: Happiness isn't always about achieving something grand, but finding joy in where you are.

We all know that social media has now become an information overload. Might happen same with Grapevine. I believe the only way to make it simple and meaningful is to limit the user generated content. I'm working on an app with Grapevine like company level communities: - it'll have app generated polls which are mostly positive feedback or just fun compliments - users can pick their coworkers in a poll to give them that compliment - the sender of the compliment will remain ANONYMOUS I think this can help some of us to get the much needed good things to hear at our workplace. Can help build a better, fun and positive culture at the org level as well. What do you guys think? Does it sound good to any of you to have something like this?
