顺情说好话 耿直讨人嫌

Earlier this year, my mom passed away. She was a fantastic woman who somehow raised 7 kids by herself, took in anyone who needed a meal or a place to stay, and somehow still found time to watch a heck of a lot of Murder, She Wrote.

今年年初，我妈妈去世了。 她是一位了不起的女人，以某种方式独自抚养了7个孩子，收养了任何需要用餐或住宿的人，并且仍然以某种方式抽出时间看了看很多谋杀案，She Wrote。

In the last 9 months one of the things that I’ve missed most is the fact that my mom was really good at saying small, nice things.

在过去的9个月中，我最想念的一件事是我妈妈真的很擅长于说些小而美的话。

Here’s an example.

这是一个例子。

Often when I would drop by my mom’s house she would offhandedly say something like, “Do you remember that summer the stove broke and you grilled most nights? You made some good sausage sandwiches.”

通常，当我走进妈妈的房子时，她会随即说：“你还记得那个夏天的炉子坏了，你烤了很多晚上吗？ 你做了一些好香肠三明治。”

Those little off-handed nice things meant the world to me. First, it was a reminder that mistakes frequently lead to positive outcomes (I was the one who accidentally broke the stovetop). Second, the unprompted affirmation about something would completely change my day. If I was feeling bad, I’d feel at least a little better. If I was feeling good, I’d feel on top of the world!

这些小巧的副手对我来说意味着世界。 首先，这提醒人们，错误经常导致积极的结果(我是不小心弄坏炉灶的人)。 其次，对事情的无动于衷的肯定将完全改变我的一天。 如果我感觉不好，我至少会感觉好一点。 如果我感觉良好，那我会感觉世界一流！

I’ve been feeling the absence of those small, nice things recently and wanted to try and carry on my mom’s legacy.

最近，我一直感觉缺少这些小巧的东西，并想尝试并继承我妈妈的遗产。

Thus, Nice Words.

因此， 尼斯的话 。

什么是好话？ (What is Nice Words?)

Nice Words is a kindness as a service product that emails you a compliment or encouragement every weekday. Your challenge is to find someone to share it with before the day is out. It can be a family member, friend, barista, or random stranger.

Nice Words是一种善意的服务产品，每个工作日都会通过电子邮件向您发送赞美或鼓励。 您的挑战是在一天结束之前找到可以与之分享的人。 它可以是家庭成员，朋友，咖啡师或随机的陌生人。

If you forget to share for a day, Nice Words will remind you. It also keeps track of how many nice words you’ve shared so you have a running tally of the people you’ve been building up.

如果您忘记分享一天，Nice Words会提醒您。 它还会跟踪您分享了多少个好词，从而使您不断了解正在培养的人。

我们希望用“ Nice Words”做什么？ (What are we hoping to do with Nice Words?)

Our goal is simple: to help folks life up the people they come into contact with in the day to day.

我们的目标很简单：帮助人们改善与他们日常接触的人的生活。

We think that by reminding people to reach out to someone and equipping them with a simple ice breaker, we can remove the friction that keeps us form sharing small, nice words.

我们认为，通过提醒人们与某人接触并为他们配备一个简单的破冰船，我们可以消除使我们保持形式共享的，小而美的单词的摩擦。

为什么要发送电子邮件？ (Why email?)

Email is not dead. It’s not likely to be dead anytime in the near future.More than half the world’s population uses email¹ and that number is expected to grow to almost four and half billion active users by 2023.

电子邮件还没死。 它不太可能在不久的将来死亡。世界上超过一半的人口使用电子邮件¹ ，到2023年，这个数字预计将增长到近四十亿和五十亿活跃用户。

Email is even going through a bit of a renaissance. Talented creators are disregarding assumptions about what email is “supposed to be,” ditching marketing funnels, treating their newsletters as products, and re-imagining ways for them to provide value.

电子邮件甚至正在经历复兴。 有才华的创作者无视关于“应该是什么”电子邮件的假设，放弃了营销漏斗，将其新闻通讯视为产品，并重新设想了它们提供价值的方式。

One of the most interesting things these folks are doing is creating interactive automated email series and packaging them as products. The thing that sets them apart from how we traditionally think of email automation is that the reader is knowingly able to engage with the email and have it react to their actions.

这些人最有趣的事情之一是创建交互式自动电子邮件系列并将其包装为产品。 使他们与我们传统上对电子邮件自动化的看法不同的是，读者有意识地能够与电子邮件互动并使邮件对他们的行为做出React。

It might be helpful to see a few examples of what I’m talking about.

每天，您的后代都会通过星际电子邮件收到一份新报告。 这些消息每个都包含故事的音频文件，导致听众不得不在电子邮件中做出选择以确定接下来会发生什么。 有超过20集的背景故事和八个独特的结局。

收件箱生物 (Inbox Creatures)

收件箱生物是电子邮件虚拟宠物。 您从一个可爱的小斑点开始，然后根据您决定喂食的食物，它每天都在变化。

Intrigued by the intimate connection to someone email offers and inspired by how little the examples above felt like reading an email and how much they felt like interacting with apps, we decided that email was our medium for Nice Words.

与电子邮件提供者的紧密联系引起了我们的兴趣，并受到上述示例阅读电子邮件的少以及与应用程序交互的感觉的启发，我们决定将电子邮件作为Nice Words的媒介。
