It is interesting to hear about the accomplishments of some of our leaders though. As far as criticism, I think that sandwhiching critisim with expressions of love is the best method of delivery. True honest praise is something cherished by our children and something my parents never gave enough of to me. This resulted in my development of a type A personality...always trying to prove my worth to them. I have since recovered from my type A lifestyle and have learned to relax(simplify)more and enjoy lifes journey. I no longer hunger for my parents praise. I get embarrassed by praise at work...but I would rather have it than criticism..in most cases.

I don't think I could criticize anyone for this, even the most egregious examples, because it is usually so sincere and well intentioned. But I think knowing people and responding to them accordingly.Clark Goblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876620613578404474noreply@blogger.com
