When paying a compliment ……………

One of the best ways to smooth relations with other
people is to be skilled at the art of paying a
compliment. The sincere, appreciative remark helps
the other fellow to realize his own inherent worth.
And, what is more, the ability to pay a compliment
boosts our own ego which is not a bad thing either.
We never forget a compliment that has deeply
pleased us, nor do we forget the person who made it.
Yet often the luster of praise is needlessly dimmed by
awkwardness in the manner of us giving. Like all
ventures in human relations, the art of paying a
compliment takes thought and practice. We have all
experienced the remorse of having our praise fall flat
because we chose the wrong time to give it or the
wrong language to couch it in.
