And as the good manager you are, you give them this compliment,

作為一個好的經理，你給他們這樣的讚美：

"I appreciate how collaborative you were on that project!"

「我很欣賞你在項目上的合作精神！」

First, I want to acknowledge you for acknowledging them.

首先，我要感謝你對他們的認可。

I want to offer you just a slight change in language to make that compliment even more powerful.

只是，我想在語言上稍作改變，讓這句讚美更有力量。

Instead of complimenting from a place of your opinion, "I think," or "I appreciate this about you,"

比起從自己的觀點出發去讚美，用「我認為」或者「我很欣賞你的這一點」

I want you to make it a statement of fact. "You are..."

我希望你用事實的陳述來說，用「你是…」

Here's how it works: Instead of, "I appreciate how collaborative you are," try, "You are collaborative," or better yet, "You are a powerful partner."

像是這樣：與其說「我很欣賞你的合作精神」，不如說「你很有合作精神」或者更好的用「你是一個強大的合作伙伴」

Big difference, right?

差距很大吧？

Not only will you make that person feel amazing, but you will help them see a truth in them that they may not have seen themselves.

你不僅可以讓那個人感到開心，還可能幫助他們看到自己以往沒有看到的部分。

And who doesn't want to give a gift like that?

誰不想送這樣的禮物呢？

Here's your challenge: Today - yes, today - I want you to powerfully acknowledge somebody in your life using "You are..." statements and then talk about it in the comments below.

這是你的挑戰：今天，沒錯，今天，我希望你使用「你是…」語句有力地讚賞你生活中的人，然後在下面留言告訴我。

How did they respond, and how did it make you feel?

他們的反應如何？讓你有什麼感覺？

Acknowledgement doesn't cost a thing, but the impact is so great.

鳴謝不費吹灰之力，但影響卻如此之大。

And now it's my turn.

現在輪到我了。

For those of you who are watching right now, you are worth it.

現在正在看的人們，你們是值得的。

You are a learner.

你是好的學習者。

You matter.

你很重要。

And remember, play fully brave!

記住，要充分勇敢地去發揮！
