Small story Big truth
When French President Charles de Gaulle visited the United States in 1960, at a banquet hosted by Nixon for him, Mrs. Nixon took great pains to set up a beautiful flower booth: in the center of a horseshoe-shaped table, bright and dazzling tropical flowers set off an exquisite fountain.
The shrewd General de Gaulle saw at a glance that it was carefully designed by the host to welcome him, and could not help but blurt out: "The hostess spent a lot of time planning and arranging such a beautiful and elegant plan and arrangement for a formal banquet." ”
Mrs. Nixon listened and was very pleased. Afterwards, she said: "Most of the big people who visited either did not pay attention or did not bother to thank the hostess for this, and he always thought and talked about others." It can be seen how good a simple compliment to others can bring.
