    三思而后行

    The literal translation of the title above is to "think trice before making an action". I guess the Chinese of old never talked much. They showed what they think with action. In our context, I believe this phrase should be modified to "三思而后说", which literally means to "think thrice before speaking".


    Since in our time we seldom do things, but rather we talk talk and talk about things, this phrase should be well suited to us. We can give "feedback", "comments", even those "constructive" ones, but the question is... Have we thought through what we speak of?

    Yes, actions speak louder than words, but words speak right to the heart.

    The feedback session, or whatevertheycallit, is to my opinion, immature, not well though of, and a waste of my time. I believe if they give themselves some time to think through their "requests", they will see that the requests are... (some descriptive words that I do not want to mouth* out)

    *should be "type out" rite... haha
