Compliments

\Com"pli*ment\, v. t. To praise, flatter, or gratify, by expressions of approbation, respect, or congratulation; to make or pay a compliment to. (http://www.dictionary.com)

I did a program modification yesterday. It took me three hours (it wasn't my program, so I needed to study it), but it was very well worth it, thanks to a few words mentioned to me by Dominic, the one who requested the revision.

"Well done, bro."

I don't exactly know why, but compliments like these serve as complements to the soul. The stress just dissolves when words like these are mentioned. Nakakataba ba ng puso. It's a sweet reward after the geeky hardships I went through.

Lesson for the day: Whenever somebody did or gave to you something good, don't forget to give compliments. A "thank you" or "galing" will do. It makes somebody feel more motivated, more special.
