What is the most flattering compliment you've ever received?
Submitted by Squelsy.

In 4th grade we had an assignment to write one nice thing about everybody in our class and leave it in an anonymous envelope for them. One of the compliments I received called me "multi-talented" which caused me to spend my elementary school days debating if I should be a model, an actress, or ... both!

We had to do the same thing in high school. You had a sheet with your name at the top and every body passed it around and wrote stuff about you anonymously. Just about everyone wrote I was nice and smart because I was quiet and trounced the class at trivia. I single handedly earned my group ice cream.

There should be no debate when it comes to modeling or acting. Models have a short shelf life and don't make much money.There are lots of old actresses but not many old models.

Girls get waaayy more compliments than guys. Nothing really stands out for me but I have been told I "give good talk". One on one conversations are where I shine.

Why aren't you both? You could be!

That's the challenge of being multi-talented... forever debating what to do with yourself. Seems like you've figured that one out... wish I could say the same.
