Criticism

I got a great  piece of advice last week from Diane Sawyer.

Last week I saw her interviewed on Oprah and she talked about her marriage to Mike Nichols. She said the best piece of advice she was given for marriage was: “Criticism is just a very poor way of making a request—so could you maybe just make the request?"

Brilliant. “You are selfish and lazy” is just a really poor way to ask: “Can you help me?”

Now lets see if I can do it!
