Criticism (10)

Can you take the heat ? you’re a loser, why you do that, you got a F- in the English class ! So is Criticism also bad and/or good ? What is this thing called Criticism? Is it a critical comment or judgment. Yes it is good and bad. Sometimes criticism is the kick in the but you need. Mostly I would say that little thing call criticism is bad. But don’t let it get you down. It’s about humility and your attitude when you come back. Use common Sense, was it real or was that person just a jack ass ?

Have you been the practice of analyzing, classifying, interpreting, or evaluating literary of someone ? Well then you have been criticized. Just like this (example) “Sorry Monica that you’re an republiccan, that’s what’s wrong with you.” Lol. Or even “you suck at baseball “. But to criticize does not necessarily imply to find fault, but to expression of an objection against a disapproval. It can be for your better good.

How do you deal with Criticism ? Assume criticism is logical. It's always best to assume that a person's criticism is sincere. Given the base from which the person is working, the criticism is entirely logical. The key is to understand the base from which people work. Thus, to work with people's criticisms, we must know their deep beliefs, biases, experiences, theological positions, and especially their ego positions. Limit the criticism you'll accept. A leader must know how to limit the criticism he or she accepts. Many times I have let one critical person keep me from recognizing the strength of the hundred who are in agreement. It's possible to turn a cold into a cancer. Don't turn criticism into a personal contest. So often we make criticism into a personal contest, when if left alone, it will die of its own lack of meaning. Learn to lose a battle in order to win a war. Admit when you've been wrong. I try to look on every reasonable criticism as a chance to review my position or better myself.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt quotes
