I totally agreement. Complimenting oneself is an expression of self love. If we can love ourselves it then becomes easier to truly love others and to compliment them as well. Afterall - we all want to be accepted and recognized - praising/complimenting each other is a great way to do that. We will also instill in each other a sense of wanting to live up to the sentiment expressed. It becomes a vicious cycle as then we get the best from each other - that creates a positive and caring environment to be in.
