I never say nice things to simply flatter someone, but I also never pass up the opportunity to give an honest compliment. The look of joy and usually complete surprise on the face of the person on the receiving end never fails to make me smile and feel better about my own day. People just don’t expect to hear nice things these days and seem downright shocked when they do. Giving compliments to others is a great way to make the world a little brighter for yourself and everyone else.

This is why I love coming to visit your site. It’s always a pleasant surprise.

I learned the simple “thank you” years ago, after years of not thinking I was good enough for the compliments. Self esteem issues have a tendency to get in the way of accepting compliments.

It’s also important to compliment others. If you see they have done a great job, a sincere “atta boy/girl”, goes a long way.

I was given some very wise advice once… Never give out advice unless it is asked for or in the case of an emergency….. I may occasionally make an exception to that rule, but these are very wise words I try to follow.

Benny, I love that quote by Mr. Hill REMEMBER THAT NO ONE CAN HURT YOUR FEELINGS WITHOUT YOUR COOPERATION AND WILLINGNESS. It reminds me of my series of posts on steps to happiness.

in my blog, feeling good about oneself is key to being emotionally healthy, hence aiding in being physically healthy as well.

As far as the handing out of criticism, I think it all depends on from whom it comes as to the way I handle being criticized. I have often been accused of having “thin skin”, but I think that’s because the criticism was coming from someone very dear and close to me. These are the people that sometimes give you feedback that you don’t ask for and hence it becomes bothersome. I believe that those who are closest to us should be bringing us up and not down. Then again, this person thought of it as constructive criticism and telling the truth to me rather than trying to hurt me. But what was not understood, was that it was unsolicited feedback and that it DID hurt.

I can often blow off criticism or take it well from those who are not close to me. But I suppose I don’t take is as well if I don’t ask for it first.

I loved this article!

REMEMBERTHAT NO ONE CAN HURT YOUR FEELINGS WITHOUT YOUR COOPERATION AND WILLINGNESS.

No one can cause you to have any kind of emotional reaction without your first giving them permission to do so. You alone are responsible for your feelings and emotions. When you know what you plan to do with your life, you will not allow annoying situations to deter you from your goals for long. If you set ambitious goals for yourself and work enthusiastically toward them, you will quickly realize that you don’t have time to allow petty annoyances to upset you and keep you from your objectives.

In today’s society that is a tough one to pull off put a worthy goal.

In the meantime and prior to us all being canonized we can just smile at compliments as you rightly suggested.

When giving constructive criticism, I think the key is trust. If somebody first trusts your intections, then they’ll be more receptive to your feedback. I also try to distinguish between the person’s behavior and the situation.
