Penny Reid Quote

I’d learned from my mother that when someone gives you a subjective compliment—meaning one that can’t be disproven and is based on opinion—but that you find to be completely false, rather than argue, it’s much better to just say thank you, or I appreciate that and strive to be that compliment.Fools fight compliments, she’d said, and sometimes other people see you better than you can see yourself.
