Its rightly said – Heere ki parakh johri ko hoti hain!!!
Compliments are one of the most extraordinary components of social life. If given right they create so much positive energy that they make things happen almost as if by magic. They ease the atmosphere around two people and kindly dispose people to each other. Of course, there is a way to give them. And, just as important, a way to receive them. And everyone needs to know how to do both. :)
Compliments usually involves the consciousness and awareness of a person , in a way a person who is complimenting is one of more value then one who receives it. :d
On the other hand, Recipients benefit from knowing that we notice and learning that we value them. So compliments are powerful in motivating continued efforts. People strive to do more of what brings praise from others.
Compliments are little gifts of love. They are not asked for or demanded. They tell a person they are worthy of notice. They are powerful gifts. But compliments work only if they are sincere reflections of what we think and if they are given freely and not coerced. Compliments backfire if they are not genuine. And faux flattery is usually highly transparent. A false compliment makes the speaker untrustworthy; it raises suspicions about motives. And that can undermine a whole relationship. :o
The art of the compliment is not only a powerful social skill; it is one of the most fundamental. You don't need to be an expert to do it well. You just need to be genuine. The more specific they are, the better. "The way you handled that question at the meeting was brilliant. You really refocused the discussion onto our plans." Compliments are in fact one of the finest tools for acquiring more social skills, because the returns are great and immediate.
Sadly, too many women discount compliments. Perhaps you've been in this situation yourself. Someone says, "Wow, you look great today." And you say, "oh, but I feel so fat (ugly) today." Or you get complimented on an outfit and you say, "Oh, this old thing, I've had it for years." Or someone says, "Hey, you gave a really good presentation." And you say, "oh, I just slapped some stuff together in five minutes." Such answers instantly suck the positivity out of the air and deflate the donor. They make the giver feel stupid for noticing and commenting on something so unworthy of praise. They totally invalidate the person's judgment. At the very least, they create social awkwardness. :#
There is only one way to receive a compliment—graciously, with a smile. :$
Keep Faith

I so agree.
When someone gives u a compliment, accept it with a smile and appreciation. Also, always give compliments to others w.o. hesitating.

@chakoli dear...im all man...half the time women dont accept compliments as gracefully as they shud :D
Chakoli,
Well said... One good and genuine compliment can make you more confident
But sad part is females use it too much unnecessarily and some fish for it too much
Well-said.

so.. did u get any compliments today ... or something made you "day"..
?
Chakoli,
Read your last 3 posts. It is good to be back in your comfortable environments - office for you.
I agree little things make a day. A smile on known face or a hug from someone close to you makes one feel very very nice.
You are right. Giving or taking a compliment is an art and has to be done gracefully.
Keep writing more & more.
Take care
Hi Chakoli :)
My PC isn't working and I have been too busy to access your blog from the office.. so i was away from ur blog all these days..
Coming to your post, a very good observation by you and very well said.. Anyone who doesn't tend to receive complements well should definitely read your post..
Let's see if i manage to come to your post more often!!
Take Care :-)
Compliments.. sure can fire back if the other person doesn't accept them graciously. Some do that.. as habit I suppose.
But yeh, they are aaaaalways welcome :D
u ok ??
hey Chakoli
compliments if given genuinely give a positive vibe to the giver and the receiver. and it really puts one off if the compliment is countered by the "oh but..." it makes the giver feel like an idiot like u mentioned. compliments really lift the spirits and get a definite smile on the face.
take care
ciao
Chaks.. u write awesome babes..
firstly i love the top part of your blog template :)
secondly - very interesting post :) Being a woman its very difficult to receive compliments from many people in a day...most of them are just to get you on their side. You cannot discount a compliment but ya a big smile a thanks is a right thing to do i guess..:)
When BOSS compliments me on work..i always say thanks, i worked for it and ill try to do it better next time :D boss happy i am happy :D
