Article: ” You should try to be gracious when accepting a compliment, even if you don’t feel comfortable or totally believe it. Go through the usual formalities. This starts with a verbal acknowledgement. In other words, say “thank you.”  In most situations, a simple “thank you” or “thanks” is enough to politely accept a compliment. However, you can also build on a simple thank you with something like “Thank you, I appreciate the compliment,” “Thanks, that’s very kind of you to say,” or “Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.” There are other ways apart from just saying thank you to express your acceptance of a compliment. Body language in some ways shows what you are feeling more directly and more immediately than language. Make sure that you always receive compliments with polite non-verbal cues.  Keep direct and steady eye contact, for example. Lean toward the complimenter slightly and try to smile and keep an interested facial expression. At the same time, avoid hostile body language. Try not to cross your arms, lean back, or turn your body away from the speaker. Watch your facial expression. A frown or look of annoyance will signal that you are not eager to accept the compliment. You should also not roll your eyes. Expect to feel uncomfortable at first when accepting compliments. Wanting to disown the comment or deflect attention away from yourself is natural. However, it’s not gracious and perhaps even rude to give in to this urge. Resist it and try to embrace the compliment.  As said before, don’t deny, belittle, or refuse to recognize the compliment. This sort of behavior will seem rude. Don’t be tempted to deflect attention away from yourself, either. This can include complimenting the complimenter or lessening your own role, like saying “Well, I guess, but Bob worked even harder!” or “I’m glad you like my hair, but it’s all the stylist.”

Accept the compliment with the “magic words. Confirm the compliment with non-verbal cues. Fight the urge to deflect attention.
Article: With the pizza stone on the bottom rack of your oven, preheat it to 550 degrees. Using one ball of at a time, lightly dust your dough with flour. Stretch gradually on a flat, floured surface until it is about as big as your pizza stone (typically about 14”). A cutting board, a flat baking sheet, or a peel will work for your surface. A peel is a wide flat tool for your pizza. The front edge is typically tapered so that your pizza can slide easily on and off of it. Once your dough is stretched to the desired size, spread your sauce and add your cheese. Top with the vegetables, meats, and seasonings of your choice. This will be much easier if you’ve properly floured your flat surface. Place the tip of your flat surface on the back of the preheated stone and slide your surface out of the oven so that your pizza is left on the stone. If your pizza seems to stick, try using a back and forth jerking motion to help it. Your pizza will only have to bake for 4-6 minutes in the oven. Watch it carefully and remove it when the crust begin to brown. Remove the pizza by again sliding your flat surface beneath the pizza. Be careful, the pizza will be extremely hot. Let it sit for a couple minutes before cutting to avoid burning yourself. You now have a crispy stone oven-style pizza.
