Want To Get Much Further in Life? Start Believing in Compliments with Temimus

DO YOU HATE COMPLIMENTS? I once complimented a substitute Melamed that I felt he’d be a great Rebbe someday. Afterwards, someone told him that I’m full of baloney, since I say that to everybody. The truth is that nobody can help a person except himself. Every human is loaded with all kinds of Maalos. But if he believes that he has those Maalos, and he takes compliments seriously, then indeed he will live up to himself.

R’ Ruderman Zatzal was told by the Alter of Slabodka that he can become a future Rabbi Akiva Eiger, and he believed him! Try to believe compliments with Temimus; you’ll get much further in life. Chazal say: מַעֲשֶׁיךָ יְקָרְ בוּךָ משנה עדיות סוף פרק ה it’s up to you!
