The Short Vort by Rabbi Eisenman

Last week I wrote:

Never underestimate the power of a simple compliment.

Yesterday, a man called me just to inform me of how much he appreciated the Short Vort about Beryl, Boro Park and the trip down memory lane.

I always appreciate positive feedback - whatever the method.

Yet, when this person first called, i was unable to pick up.

He then sent me a text which gave me a heads on what the call was about.

However, I made the effort to call him back and hear his compliment directly.

Why?

Because there is nothing sweeter to a persons’s ear that a kind word!

Indeed, we all need chizuk!

Its one thing to read an email and or a text- and that's always appreciated!

However, to hear a live voice expressing thanks and a warm word- that's priceless!

And to experience that pleasure its worthy of a return phone call!

Make someone’s day today- give them a heartfelt and warm kind word- neither of you will lose out and all will gain!
