The piece of advice that has stuck with me most in my 17 years is something my grandfather told me when I was young. " Make people happy." This is something so simple that i carry with me in my daily life. It doesnt matter how you make people happy, everybody has different strategies. I tend to try and please others by making them laugh. Man others will go the route of saying something nice or helping someone out who needs help. all of these work, but if you just think, " I'm gonna make someone happy today," you yourself will become happier. I honestly feel good trying to make people happy especially if i succeed. If i fail, its kinda awkward, but i try with them the next day. Also, I dont just look for people who seem sad and try to please them. It could be any person in any situation. I just try to make one person happy everyday by saying something funny about things going on at school or just saying something goofy that I know they will remember.
My grandfather also ives by this advice, but he has a different method. He compliments people. He gives them confidence and tells them that what they are doing is good and appreciated. I am not as good at this style, but people will become happy of they know that someone cares about what they are doing. This advice will always stick with me because it is effective and awesome.
