Oh, and feedback.

When grilling a steak, there are several ways a person can have his or hers cooked. The rarest of rare steaks, on the grill for the shortest amount of time, could probably be brought back to life by a good veterinarian. Conversely, a well-done steak has the texture and chewiness of shoe leather; the longer it's on the grill, the more dried-out it gets. Let's say that feedback is like a steak, and the juiciness of the steak is the amount of "sugar-coating" the feedback has. I'd order my steak rare, but if I get medium rare, I'm not going to send it back to the kitchen - I've seen Waiting.

Metaphors aside, I prefer constructive criticism, with a little something nice on the side. Maybe tell me that my posture has been particularly good as of late, or perhaps brighten my day with some candy...YES. Bring me candy - Butterfingers are my favorite - then tell me how I dropped the ball. Also, I'm not going to pretend I know everything, so if you want to give me some pointers on how to improve, please do. I believe that's the "constructive" in "constructive criticism".

...get it? Hilarious.

Classic Browns; nice one, butterfingers...
