A lot of praise has already been said before, and if you add some "new ideas", the technique of praise will be more perfect and effective.

The "novelty" here is mainly in the form of humor.

The Japanese scholar Teruo Itagawa wrote in his book "The Art of Speaking": "If you ask what the wise way of speaking is, it can be said to be a humorous way of speaking in a sense. We can also say that if we ask what the way to praise is to praise wisely, it is in a sense to praise with humor. Humor plays a pivotal role in the art of praise.

Tom was hired as a sales manager for a company, and he adopted new marketing tactics, so two months after he joined the company, the company's sales increased dramatically, and the warehouse was sold out. The boss was so happy that he patted Tom on the shoulder and said, "You've done a great job!" Keep up the good work. ”

"Well," said Tom, "but why don't you put your compliments in my pocket?"

"Definitely, young man." The owner kept his promises very much.

When Tom receives his paybag the next month, he finds a small note attached to it. It reads; "You've done a great job! Keep up the good work and perform better. ”

This little story vividly illustrates how important humor is in the words of praise, it makes your compliments easy and fun, and gains the recognition and support of the other party in a relaxed and natural atmosphere, so that others and yourself are tacitly understood, and the distance between the heart and the soul is narrowed. At the same time, it injects new spices into life. Modern high-frequency, fast-paced lifestyles need this kind of humorous praise more to alleviate brain fatigue, if we laugh a little more, a little more humor, eliminate the irritable mood, and maintain emotional stability.

This may be the entertainment of the various motives of praise in the harmony of humor.

The novelty of the compliment should also be determined according to the different occasions, the personality factors of both parties, cultural backgrounds, customs, and many other factors.

Character is an important basic quality, and the Chinese have been a nation that attaches great importance to ethics and morality since ancient times. Therefore, character has become a very noble thing in the minds of Chinese. Intellectuals, politicians and businessmen alike regard reputation as an important part of their lives. This is a good subject to praise the Chinese. Confucius said to Yan Hui: "Virtuous, Huiye!" Mao ** wrote a poem praising Peng Dehuai: "The mountains are high, the roads are far away, the pits are deep, the army is galloping, who dares to cross the sword?" Only I am General Peng. These words of praise are based on character, and are completed using professional language, from which new ideas are revealed.

Regional cultural background, customs, etc., are also important when complimenting others. In the West, a boss's compliment to a subordinate can usually be a few words such as "thank you" and "you did a great job", but in China it is more likely to be a meal or a cigarette. As far as the country is concerned, if you are facing Shandong or Northeast people, you can raise your fingers and say, "Good guy, you can really do it!" The uninformed person looks rough and impolite, but the person who is praised will surely reply loudly: "Brothers, you are not bad!" If you twist and writhe and write elegantly, it will cause people to be unhappy.

The novelty of praise is important, but it is even more important for us to combine various factors to find the appropriate "new" meaning, otherwise it will be self-defeating and counterproductive. Mark Twain once said, "A good compliment will feed me for ten days." "When we let fresh compliments flow into the lives of others every day, then each other's appetite for life grows.
