1. "IF YOU WANT TO GATHER HONEY, DON'T KICK OVER THE BEEHIVE"
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
BEEHIVE: 벌집
a habitation or dwelling-place constructed for bees, usually either dome-shaped or box-shaped.
futile: 헛된, 소용없는 (=pointless)
incapable of producing any result; ineffective; useless; not successful:
Attempting to force-feed the sick horse was futile.
