Do You Build Or Destroy?


"People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder and praiser, and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic."

John Ruskin
19th century English art critic

I don't know about only two classes and particularly so with these two greatly polarized opposites, but I do get the general idea.

However, given his profession as a critic, it does make me wonder which class Mr. Ruskin saw himself belonging to.

How about you?  Which are you?

  1. You're right about the two classes being limited.

    I'm a CFO and I suppose the only one of these even remotely close to what I do would have to be "critic, but if so, I certainly don't accept that I am also a "destroyer" or "unbeliever" no matter what my friends in marketing and sales may say.
