It's good to save compliments sometimes.* What is a "Letter of
   Recommendation" but nice compliments given by someone whose word
   "means something"?** I think everybody's word means something,
   so when I get exceptional compliments, I save them for rainy
   days.* It's not that our "sense of self worth" is defined by
   other people... but in a way... it kind of is as well. It's a
   weird mixture. Anyhow, this is one I got a long time ago - a
   litetime ago it seems, but it's also the same lifetime. * It's a
   good example of a nice letter of recommendation, if you ever
   need to write one.* While you may not think so when you get
   them, the Adjectives other people use to describe you do sink in
   at some level and become how you see yourself at times. To Whom
   It May Concern, Kenneth Udut has been working for me for the
   last eight months, on a temporary assignment.* I would recommend
   Ken highly to any company looking for a Professional, Competent,
   Cooperative employee. He is very organized and always willing to
   take on additional responsibility. If there was the opportunity
   to keep Ken as a permanent employee we would take advantage of
   his skills.* Head count freeze prevents this from happening.
   Sincerely, [signed] Penny Malcolm I let people take advantage of
   my skills sometimes.* Lately I've been taking advantage of my
   skills on myself.* It's been quite interesting from a
   self-growth/development perspective.
