Not only do we get messages telling us we're unworthy of the compliments, there's an unspoken thread in our society telling us that to simply say 'thank you' and go on is somehow being prideful in a bad way. I have to say I love that your Sensei complimented not only you, but the jewelry you'd made as well, and that you were able to accept it as genuine. You have learned well, Grasshopper.
