Productivity

I get it, you want me to improve. Sometimes, perhaps the imperfection in people - both the sender and the receiver - causes the message not to sit well.

Perhaps I just can't get the hint. Or the hardness of it is a result of my naive perception of how such message should be sent - out of love.

But I forgot that this is an imperfect world. They don't operate out of love. At least the one who appraises you is not obliged to provide that conducive environment to tell you you're not doing a good enough job and you need to improve.
