We are told from a young age that honesty is the best policy. This is
generally true. But when someone asks for your honest opinion about something
they have invested a lot of time and energy in, and you don't like what you
see, honesty isn't necessarily the "easiest" policy - even if it is the best.
That doesn't mean you have to lie, but you do have options. You could avoid
the question and gauge whether they can handle what you have to say. If not,
try to soften your message by delivering it in a kind and constructive way,
which preserves your integrity and gives them what they want.
我們從小就被教育誠實為上策。這通常是對的。
但是當有人要求你對他們付出很多心血的事情提出誠實的意見時
(你並不喜歡你所看到的)，誠實就不一定是最"簡單"的良策。
這並不代表你必須說謊，你有其他的選項。
你可以技巧性地閃避問題，並衡量他們是否可以接受你說的話。
如果無法接受，那請嘗試以善意和建設性的角度提供看法，
這樣既可以保持你的誠信也為他們提供想要的意見。
