Harvard Business Review once highlighted that “Compliments are a form of structured gratitude” and gratitude is a powerful tool for building relationships.

As you navigate through life, you’re bound to encounter individuals who will try to veil criticism beneath words of praise. But your self-worth should not be dictated by their words.
