I Like Those Shoes! How to Give Free Compliments

These guys know how to make others Smile! Brett Westcott and Cameron Brown, The Compliment Guys, stand outside on a busy walkway every Wednesday at Purdue University and shout out compliments to people passing by. I heard about them on NPR's story At Purdue, Compliments are Complimentary. What's great about this free initiative is it benefits not only the receivers:

"These guys brighten my day every Wednesday. They are so much fun!" - Rachel Taylor

But also the givers:

"I love giving free compliments - there's nothing else I'd rather do" - Westcott

Either way, give someone a compliment today.
