I considered it a great compliment then and I still consider it a great compliment now.

Probably not, but it's a tremendous compliment to him and his abilities that he's even considered.

I have never considered myself a poet. Therefore, I am not a rival of anyone, and I do not consider anybody my rival.

Even if you receive a lot of compliments or praise, you should know that there is still a lot to learn. Always work hard on improving yourself. Keep learning new things and bring yourself to new experiences. This will allow you to realize that learning never stops. And that you can always better ourselves if we choose it.

Everybody likes compliment.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel they have not said enough.
