Feedback

I've been selling things on eBay for seven years and have built my feedback up to a near-perfect 3000 (one negative from some psycho bidder) in recent weeks. I've had bidders tell me how much they appreciate seeing the feedback for me, so they feel good about buying my auction items. That got me to thinking... Wouldn't it be nice if we could leave feedback for everyone? Doctors, postal clerks, mechanics, teachers... How about parents? Would you be a better parent if you had a numerical measure of your actions and decisions as a mother or father?

I love the daily feedback from my kids, whether it's a hug or a high-five or just one of my kids actually doing what I ask them to do. Tonight I had one of the best feedback comments of all... During storytime, my son turned to me and said, "I'm sure glad that you love me and want to take care of me."

I agree. It would be wonderful to leave honest feedback and have access to honest feedback across the board. From how we parent to where we get our bodies and cars fixed!

Yeah, it's moments like that when you realize it's all worth it. That kind of feedback is the true measure of success I think.
