16 SEPTEMBER 2023 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Encouragement by Tim Connor Ever had a nag in your life? Got one now? Love being around them? Let me be clear - we can all be better humans in some way. The question is: Whose responsibility is it to make us better? And, how are we supposed to define it better? Complicated? Well, yes if you are the one trying to create a new someone in someone you are with or know. Who has the right to tell us how we should dress, eat, how we should . . . drive, talk, laugh, smile? Got it? Who has the right to mold another person into their image of who that person should be? NO ONE. Yes, I know there are traits you don’t like about me and would love me or like me more if I would change them, add them, delete them, do something better or different with them. Have you considered I could say the same about you, but I don’t? I want your suggestions. I am interested in your ideas. I want to hear your advice. I need your counsel. I am a better person with your feedback BUT - it’s my choice as to whether I adapt or modify my behavior in any way to any of the previous ideas. There is a difference between encouragement and enforcement.
