What is the biggest, most genuine complement you ever recieved?

Mine is from someone I'd rather forget (and had done until I was inspired to write this thread)


It was...

"Peter, you have a way with words"


You have no idea what it feels like to hear that for someone who craves to be an author.

So what compliment did you receive that made you feel like you were on top of the world?

I would like to say that compliments from family members don't count because they are genetically predisposed to complement you with a complete lack of truthfulness - especially your mum.


But I won't.
