Honking the Horn of Criticism
A young woman was driving to work. She stopped at a red light and her car stalled.
The light turned green but she was unable to start her car. The truck behind her started honking the horn.
The light turned red and green, and the truck driver continued to honk the horn.
The young woman was frustrated and could not start her car so she got out of her car and walked back to the truck and politely said to the truck driver; "If you start my car for me, I would be happy to continue honking your horn for you."
This is what happens with criticism.
If we continue to honk the horn of criticism, it rarely changes the situation or the people involved. Make an effort to help.
