I knew I was smart， but this stranger， this woman who just came out of nowhere it seemed， was the first person to ever say it to me.And it made me see myself differently from that day forward， Tish Hooker saying，“You have such beautiful bee-stung lips，”and I"ve remembered that my whole life.You never know what kindness you offer today to someone， how that might live with them forever.CSo， if you can be generous enough to say kind， affirming words to those who may long to hear them， you will be a huge success.
