I've recently been led to the thataway site and happily found your blog there... Overuse of some words and phrases is problematic but I think expanding our vocabulary might be a wiser tack than shrinking it.....

That is how we can improve. I can't tell you how many times, I did not do something right, or I missed the mark, and someone let me know that I did. There is a difference between giving someone the right information, and someone who is just plain harsh. If we go through life not having this constructive criticism, someone who had the courage to tell us when we are going in the wrong direction ,then you will have more people in jail, more people addicted to alcohol, and more people in bad situations that they got themselves in and who wish that someone had told them that what they were doing was not the right thing. I remember someone let me know that a "hard head, makes for a soft behind"...which means, if you are stubborn, then you will get your butt kicked bad...and you have a painful butt. It is amazing that many in our generation simply can not handle the truth about ourselves and the advice that can save us a lot of heat, a lot of embarrassment and a lot of trouble. But, if you want to survive in this world...you got to take it...you got to take the "you really should" before you get to the place where "you really screwed up...now you have to pay for it". It is always best to learn from the mistakes of others, instead of learning after you made it yourself....because sometimes that mistake will create a ditch that is a hard thing to get out of.

When someone says that to me, it implies that what I am currently doing is wrong. Who made them the judge? I absolutely despise the word “should”.
