Bernard O'Shea: I played the compliment game, it costs nothing but it is invaluable

Curious about the power of compliments, I embarked on "The Compliment Game," going out of my way to compliment people every day.

Ever wondered how a few simple words can change someone's day? I did. In fact, I was so curious that I embarked on a bit of adventure I like to call "The Compliment Game." The rules are simple: give at least three genuine compliments a day. The results? Sometimes heartwarming, sometimes thoroughly embarrassing.

As someone who thrives on curiosity, I pondered compliments' impact. Could they really make a difference in someone's day? Could a genuine compliment change the trajectory of a conversation or even a relationship? And, more selfishly, could this little experiment make me happier, too? These questions led me to dive into the world of compliments, armed with nothing but a smile, hope, and a decent internet connection.
