205 Compliment an Equal

All too often we forget just how ritual-istic Compliments are.

Especially if an ‚inferior‘ pays a compliment to a ’superior‘ (ie: Child to Parent)

What would they know.

Or ’superior‘ to ‚inferior‘. (ie: Boss to Employee)

He’s just being kind because of his position.

We almost never, as equals, trade compliments.

So how to really give a compliment to an equal (or a superior) and make it count?

Simple.

Mention the compliment to another person, but within earshot of the intended recipient.

I tend to ignore most compliments,

but I always accept those I ‚overhear‘ about myself.
