I am reminded that perception is everything. Let's say I articulate the following to my wife, "Honey you look like the first day of spring today." She will probably be very pleased and feel very good about herself and be content with me. Now instead let's assume I am a buffoon, and instead comment to my wife, "Honey you look like the last day of long, cold, hard winter." Knowing my wife - I would probably be sleeping in the doghouse until next spring when I would finally have a chance to redeem myself.
