Prophets

There is no virtue in being uncritical nor is it a
habit to which the young are given. But criticism is only the burying beetle
that gets rid of what is dead, and, since the world lives by creative and
constructive forces, and not by negation and destruction, it is better to grow
up in the company of prophets than of critics.

-Richard Livingstone

Remember this the next time you think to criticize a class, training, or conference that you attend. How many of you take the time to offer either positive or negative feedback? How many of you take it one step further by providing well thought out written feedback in the comment section? I will be the first to say that I am guilty of disclosing my opinions in the 1 to 5 rating columns but when it comes time to write thoughts on how to make it better or different, I refrain.
