Paying a Compliment Do's and Don'ts
> You Do
Pay a compliment only when you really mean it.
> You Don't
Go around paying compliments to everybody, all the time, so that your compliments don't sound special any more.
> Why
If you like, but don't love, your grandma's apple pie, you don't say it was the best pie you ever tasted. Saying, "Thank you, that was good," is just fine. When your grandma does make your favorite pie, that's the time to tell her how much you like it. The compliment will be much more special if it is genuine - and your grandma will know the difference.
