Try to randomly compliment or just wish people you come across, because sometimes that may be the only kind words they will hear that day.
Saying a Good Morning or a Hello or Thank you does not make us inferior or look weird, but imagine our small gesture if reciprocated by them and used on others; just think about the rippling effect and no one then is a stranger...
I do it and in the process I have realized that there are many people who smile and also ask how I am doing, even though the wishing or the wished is unaware of the other's identity.
I feel that when you are in trouble and ardently wish to get some assistance ...no doubt ,these persons will be there at immediate access and will be more than happy to be of assistance to you... This is my personal experience,
Just think about this, you do not loose anything by wishing or complimenting someone, but what you stand to gain is not measurable.
after posting the above, I was searching the net for some article on this topic and came across the below, makes a good read...
