"Hey, the chocolate chips and nuts in your cookies are nice!"

It's a compliment. It's like telling a singer the song she sings has meaningful lyrics, it's like telling a tailor the colour of the threads she uses on her dress is unique, it's like telling a carpenter the texture of the wood of his chair looks great...

But does the singer sing well, reaching every high and low notes? Did the tailor sew a nice-fitting dress that compliments her client's figure? And how is the hands-on skill of the carpenter who tries to build a strong and durable piece of furniture?

When the secondary overpowers the first, is there really something to be happy about? It's a compliment alright, but it just wasn't enough. It makes me wonder, how long will it take for me to reach there?

As long as I keep trying, I'll have a chance.
