Its All About Me?

It is really not a big deal either way. I was commenting on your response to a very specific comment you made. If you feel that there are veterans that do not want criticism and that is something that keeps you up and night, be my guest. Now what does that do for your career?

If you want to know the truth, I think people spend too much time worrying about what people do with them involved then worrying about themselves. I do not care who accepts or dislikes criticism because I am too worried about doing my job. If someone wants my help I will give it to them if they ask and if they take it in the spirit in which it was intended. People in other aspects of life do not want to help those they do not know or have direct involvement with, so why would we think that takes place in officiating? If you ask me there is too much whining about what someone else is not doing for you. While there should be more concern is what am I going to do to get better. And if one person does not want to help, I move to the people that will. There are over 6000 officials in my state, I am lucky if I even trust the opinion of only 4 of them. At least to the point where I am going to make big changes based on the opinions they might give.

Peace
