[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] You'd never say "I'm proud of you!" to the CEO of a successful company when they achieve something new. It's something you say when you don't really respect the person or you're above them in an obvious way (e.g. parent or boss).[/quote] I would if the CEO was my friend, which was the context of the OP. Of course you wouldn’t say it to your boss.[/quote] +1 I don't say it to random people, co-workres, or acquaintances, but to my actual friends? Yes. I actually have a friend who is a specialized cardiologist and way more accomplished than I am (I didn't graduate college). She just achieved a career goal and I absolutely told her I was proud of her. I know how hard she worked to reach this goal and it was a long and hard road. [/quote]
