The road to hell is often paved with good intentions.

Here are my comments to a 2weeks1gather article entitled Wordy: 有其母必有其子"

>> ... 既然出發點是對的、好的、正確的話，就算手法不夠好，對方也該接受。

Maybe yes, maybe not. As the saying goes: "The road to hell is often paved with good intentions." Anyway, I am glad to hear you find commonality with your Mom.

"The road to hell ..." is actually a very popular proverb often heard at meetings in Ottawa. Policy-makers must not forget that good intention "出發點" is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for success. No matter how "good" a proposed policy is, it still is from YOUR perspective / agena, and not the person on the receiving end. The challenge is therefore to establish a shared agenda, if not in whole, at least in parts, and in doing so, try to consult and create synergy.
