“It is ironic how those so hungry for an honest opinion are so quickly offended by that honesty. If you are not ready to hear the bad with the good, do not ask.”  


Loren Weisman


Are you someone who only wants to hear the good things in your plan, idea or project?

If you are how can you possibly see where you need to improve?

When we ask for advice let’s humbly accept any criticism and use it to make adjustments for the better!



Thanks for stopping by. Now let's get busy succeeding!

Good date...! You will not believe me, but I have always shared that phrase. I know people who say: "I do not have hair on my tongue to say things to people in their face" (as they say in my country) and I always asked them: "but are you really prepared to be told to you? " because the majority I know gets angry. How easy it is to say, but how hard it is to listen. In my particular case, sometimes it bothers me but I keep quiet, because something will be right in what they tell me. Have a happy day.-.-

I like your attitude!

That's very true. Many times those who criticize do not like to be criticized. As a baker and student, I receive constructive criticism and advice from experts every day. I certainly appreciate this type of comments because, in addition to enriching my knowledge, I can improve every day @goodvibrations

What a great profession you are learning. You are be trained well to accept criticism.

Well, We all are of different mindsets,
We see things in different perspective.
if you have done something and you want other's to review your work, you should get yourself ready to listen positive as well as negative views,
positive reviews will give you happiness, but the most important negative views give you the lesson and you'll get knowledge about the things in which you need improvement :)

What you write is sooo true!

:) Thank you brother :)

Well I agree to that ,getting to know both ability of flaws and good will indeed make you rise ,we should learn to take both opinion !

It is a skill!

This is so true, we need to accept critism specially when we know that we are wrong and don't pretend that you know everything.
As your last quote said, that everyone have flaws. We commit mistakes and when someone corrects or criticized us we should have an open heart to accept. For this serves as a learning expirience, again for us to grow

It takes humility and that's not always easy.

That was so true😊

I don't mind constructive criticism when it's asked for and if it's expressed as an opinion not fact. I really dislike people "coaching" me though when I've not asked for their advice. 😊

Yes that can be irritating. The quote, though, refers to when we ask for an opinion and then reject it out of hand.

Very good reflection, be honest and open too...!

In criticism not only is the bag, we must take advantage of the good and we must not forget it.

I have encountered a lot of people who have this kind of attitude. These people can't take criticism. These kind of people are perfectionist and self-centered and their ego are off the charts.

It does make it more difficult.

Great quote! Too true, it seems that most of the time people just want a to hear their praises sung, despite the fact that genuine constructive criticism would probably do them far more good in the long run!

It's never easy getting criticism but if we take it in and meditate on it we can learn a lot!

"Criticism is one of the most valuable tools to improve your life, but at the same time it is difficult to accept them with the best spirit" Many people have trouble accepting these comments because they feel attacked or belittled, but criticism can help us improve as people. My advice: let's be open and receptive people.

Yes let's be open!

Very cool motivation @goodvibrations, I really like to read post about motiavsi. Because it is very useful for our lives to be able to reflect on the life we live and keep trying to change this life for better and more successful. Thank you for sharing and hopefully you will be more successful to work ... :)

Criticism that an idea or a new idea. constructive criticism mumbuat we are more mature in thinking and doing

A great suggestion Thanks for it and for motivation
You always come with great words great words that if you can not hear bad with good do not ask I agree with this

You should have the courage to listen to the negative views of the people,
Exactly the way you said we should not let criticism to get down our moral.
We should learn from it.

I agree with your motivation, human is judging good and bad,,!!
If friends rate must be good, if the enemy is surely bad rate,
If we are not able to accept evil then don't ever ask to someone else.
do things that you think are positive.
thanks @goodvibrations

Greetings community, we must live and practice virtues that make us grow as people and recognize that we have defects and qualities as all human beings and know how to accept the criticisms but if they are to improve

there will always be two sides of the coin and it will not be good for us always so we have to accept the bad ones too and move on to do our best

good criticism is constructive criticism

Many people give free advice and when we give some to then in an honest opinion they don't even talk again what an irony of life

True my friend. Truth most of the times ...Just hurts

I stumbled upon this write up just like many of us here has and I am greatly moved by the simplicity of the truth/fact contained there in. In truth, many of us so desire to be good and are with good intentions, at least toward ourselves if not others, but Truth... Truth often bite deeper than knives. We quickly abandon the goodness in us when faced by Truths and would rather cling to fallacies and lies for momentary comfort.

Thank you very much for this talk. It inspires

I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

people think they are only honest in these cases when they hear the same from others they can't digest the truth that's life :)

Thanks for the lovely quote

If the critisizm is real, then lets thank them for pinpointing us another room for improvement.
Thanks for the lesson @goodvibrations!

thanks your suggestion

That's rightly said @goodvibrations we should not give opinions to those who don't even have to capability to hear them but we should give it to those whom we care a lot and who has the capability to achieve the unachievable things

honest is better than lying, thank's @goodvibrations

a very useful post. thank you for giving us a friend steemit all hopefully useful for us all. success is always for you @goodvibrations

Very true, first of all we have to understand that humiliation and criticism are two different things and in my opinion sometimes when people genuinely criticise someone then next person mistakenly take it as an humiliation, so we have to understand the words properly, people who humiliate you are the one's who criticise you all the time even they find flaws in your good work and genuine criticism is the one, which genuinely point outs our mistake and if we check our work then most us know that yes we have done mistake here. So let's accept the criticism, instead let's make criticism our friend so that it can improve our journey of life. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. 🙂

Stay Blessed.

Hey, what good advice..

everyone can give free opinion at any time at any point in life but when it comes back from the same people it hurts like broken mirror inside the heart

Listening to suggestions and correcting the problem is a good step to take, and accept criticism for better development. @goodvibrations

its simple that they don't have the ability to hear the criticism coming towards them but they are good to criticize others

I prefer to hear first the bad and then the good. If i hear too much good, i will not have enough motivation to improvement. When i hear the bad (depending how and who says it) i try to learn from it and try to be better next time. Norman Peale once said The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. I try to be the other way around.

Joke of the day

simplemente es muy cierto algunas veces necesitamos saber la verdad y en lo personal soy muy mal analizador de mis errores donde no me los veo pero otros si y aunque me duela la verdad es mejor que una mentira que me haga feliz, buena frase megusto mucho.
