Compliments
come in all varieties, sizes, shapes, and degrees of sincerity.
You
look good.
You smell good.
You
did a good job.
You are just really average.
Ah,
but a truly great compliment … now that is something to behold.
I
absolutely adore this note written to Walt Whitman.
“Dear Sir,
I am not
blind to the worth of the wonderful gift of Leaves of Grass. I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit
and wisdom that America has yet contributed.
I greet you at the beginning of a great career.”
(Ralph
Waldo Emerson)
Especially
love that last turn of words.
Masterful!
Never
have I seen a time when people from all walks of life are so hungry for a
proper word of encouragement.
What
can you and I do about this?
I
wonder.
