....flattery
but we all appreciate a compliment. If people say nice things to us,
especially when it is clear that they have taken the trouble to
recognise a quality that we ourselves are quite pleased with, we feel
good. We feel good about ourselves and we feel good about the folk who
are making such comments. And if they then go on to gently point out
some less than satisfactory factor that we might want to address, we are
at least half-inclined to hear them out.
Diplomacy will almost always be a key to success.
Our intentions become clear through the fruits of our actions,
not through the seeds of our words.
