Make Criticism Work for you


Often when we ask for comments, what we usually hope to get are compliments. Who wants to be circisied anyway? After all, criticism always seem to wound our pride and deflate our ego.
But are all criticism malicious and biased?Should we simply block off these sharp remarks and pretend we have not heard them?
On the hand, can criticism be objective and constructive? Can Criticism really help us to imrpove? How should we react when we are criticised?
When our pride has be bruised, it is not easy to look at at things from an penetrating remakrs, we get sore and the slightest provocation can easily spark off a rage. We become hypersensitive and suspicious, and often we start to shut ourself off from any further comments even if these are acutally well-meaning,
After our self-esteem has take a beating, we start to react impusively to every word and every nuance. If we lose control over feelings and allow our frustrations to be released uncurbed, we can only make the situation worse. Hasty reactions seldom help to remedy the situation. If anything, it will merely worsen the things and show that we are unable to accept advice graciously.
