Thanks for the honest and “right-on” advice and information in this post. If someone gets mad, they first need to examine “WHY” they’re made. I have a firm belief that when something makes us mad, it’s usually because it’s true. Truth can hurt and truth can make someone mad. But truth, when listened to can inspire and motivate us. If people will look at the things that people say when they get mad, they’ll usually find that which is truest makes us the maddest. False statements are usually fleeting and the anger (if any) is usually short lived. As far as I’m concerned, you have nothing to apologize for in this post – you were “spot on”. I need that occasional “kick in the seat of the pants” to get me going sometimes as well.

It is only through learning the error of our ways that that we make any real progress. So even if it hurts our pride a little we should welcome constructive and critical analysis, learn from it and move on.
