I have always wondered about too much "good job" especially when someone really hasn't done a good job - they've just done what they should have done or needed to do or worse, they're not actually good at something. I thank the person who finally said to me - maybe singing isn't your thing. It freed me up for finding my thing - and ensured that's I'd never be subjected to an American Idol audition. Thanks for the good reminder. I really enjoyed that article.
