It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.

Many know how to flatter, few know how to praise.
I thought acknowledging praise meant you were arrogant, but I've learned that knowing your strengths enables you to make use of them.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
