I was driving home from work, pondering what I’d write for this last post on constructive criticism. I passed my usual flock of sheep, and they had an unusual look–shorn, clipped . . . naked.
That’s how I feel after receiving criticism, I thought. Exposed, naked.
Funny thing, the sheep didn’t look embarrassed. I suspect they feel lighter and more comfortable. Free. Free of all that hot and heavy wool. And surely the wool clippings will be put to good use. A win-win for all.
Maybe I need a good clipping. Some constructive, comfortable criticism.
