Progress begins with action

Don't be that judge, that critic, that bearer of negative review, whose criticism adds insult to injury and are intended, in no shape, form or fashion to empower those being critiqued by you. Are you the one sitting back waiting to find fault...to point out errors, to judge quickly, simply because you're too afraid to actually get on about the business of the "doing" of the thing that you so resent someone else attempting? 
Be careful of your assessments of those who have actually thrown off the cloak of fear and decided to step into the ring to follow their dreams, whether they come up short or they eventually make the great success of the vision they've dreamed about for years.  
So, take it easy and recognize what your true intention is when you start to "critique" a subject/subject matter.  Your task is secondary....progress can only happen by those who are attempting the task.
"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." -  Theodore Roosevelt
