Accepting a Compliment Do's and Don'ts
When someone says - "You did a great job at your bar mitzvah."
> You Do
Say, "Thank you, I really worked hard."
> You Don't
Say, "You must not have been listening when I messed up."
> Why
When a person tells you that you have done a good job, it is rude to suggest that the person does not know what he or she is talking about. Even if you know, deep down, that there were moments when you messed up, you don't need to point them out. A simple "Thank you" is all you need to say.
