..., getting discouraged instead of mad at someone who criticizes. I have to keep telling myself to ignore those who offer criticism that is not constructive. ...!
Decades ago, a woman who was active in the Kennedy Whitehouse, wrote a book, "A Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior," and in it she addressed criticizing others. She said we should only criticize when asked to do so, and when asked, DON'T.
I've used that as my guide since I first heard her say that (not a simple task for a teacher).
So, I'm not criticizing (which is far different from constructive suggestions) others by saying that; I'm simply agreeing with you, Mark, and doing so publicly.
