Lift

I shall never forget his plea, "Oh, give me one man who says, I can make it work." The difference between the critic and suggester of a better way may seem slight in words, but it looms large in life. What a leap between, "I see your error" to "I see a way that might make it better." Both point out the error. But one pushes down, the other lifts. The lifting takes the tougher mind.
