How Should we Handle Criticisms?

in criticism •  6 years ago 

NOBODY'S perfect. No matter how much we do our best, we will never be enough for everyone. Someone will see something wrong in our works. Even if we always give our best in everything that we do, criticisms are inevitable. People have different opinions and standards. You have to accept that you can't please everyone. Criticisms can either help you or torment you depending on how you handle them. You have to properly distinguish which critcisms can help you make yourself and your works better.

Conscructive criticisms can be harsh and straightforward but it has good intentions. Sometimes the truth can be painful. A slap of reality is hard to handle. But you have to swallow this bitter pill if you want to improve on your craft. How do you know if a criticism is construcrive? For example, a friend told you that you could've produced a better result if you've done it on a different way, then that is constructive especially if he or she tried to sound nice and chose his or her words carefully. Some people even give you advices and suggestions after they give you criticisms. You would know that he or she has good intenions and is only after your personal development.

You also have to face the fact that when you're going up, there are jealous people who will try to drag you down. That's an unfortunate reality in this cruel world. These people are just waiting for you to commit a single mistake and will take it as an opportunity to badmouth you and discourage you to keep on achieving your goals. These are destructive criticisms meant to make you stumble or even stop you from going up. They will throw you with harsh and below-the-belt criticisms that are apparently unhelpful for your personal growth.

It is important that we know how to accept criticisms. But it is more important that we know which ones we should accept and ponder on. You cannot let negative vibes ruin you or prevent you from going up. Eyes on your goal. Don't get distracted. Whatever your haters say doesn't matter. You know who you are and what you are doing. As long as you know what you're doing is right, then you're good to keep on going. Don't stop or slow down just because someone told you so. Be the driver or your own success and do it wisely.

I hope this writing helps you in some ways. Thank you for visiting this blog!

I think this is an incredibly important question to be asking because how an entity deals with criticism is what determines whether they'll get better or worse with age. Criticism can be extremely valuable, particularity for those who perceive in terms of needs (evaluations instead of judgement).
