Responding to a compliment from your boss

For many people, this is something that will never happen or only once in their life, then you must be prepared and respond appropriately in case it does happen. One day it is possible that your boss makes you a compliment on your work, in private or in public.
In this case, do not seem to fall from the clouds and do not think that is a joke or a mistake on the person : he or she may be sincere.
The first thing is to say thank you in a natural and distinct way and to seem to appreciate the true value of the compliment.
Then you should keep from self-deprecate in front of him or her, even if you do not deserve the compliment, you should not tell your boss otherwise your boss would lose the confidence that he or she has in you.
