On Complaining

One day in my life as a guest-lecturer for a  university, a young student approached me at the  end of our discussion.  "I don't like your teaching style," he said with a moue of dissatisfaction.  "I don't either," I said.  "Do you have any suggestions?"
You see, it is very easy to criticize.  But before you critique, do you have a suggestion to offer?  Take a proactive approach and highlight the benefits of your suggestion.

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints. -Rita Dove
