Receiving Compliments
When somebody compliments you about a job well done, the way you look or your beautiful shoes, how do you respond or react?
It is just recently that I have learned to accept the compliments. And there is a solid reason why I did not years back. Whenever someone would give me compliments, I would say "oh, it is nothing" or "not really".
Not all Filipinos would accept compliments without negation. And that is what I have learned to not do anymore. Accepting or receiving compliment is not being conceited or arrogant... it is in fact, acknowledging the sincerity of the person giving the words of praise and confirming that indeed you made an effort to do a great job or to look good.
So, the next time you are being complimented of something, smile and say "thank you!".
