Criticism

 

We are currently living in a world, where one has more criticized than praise. Yet, that shouldn’t be an issue to hold you back from doing and striving to achieve success and prosperity in your field of expertise.

 Critics can either be constructive or destructive in nature. How one deal with their critics is more important, to their personal development?  For instance, constructive critics are often specific recommendation on how to make a positive improvement on a product or service delivery, often offered by a client, or a friend, or a family member, on ways one can improve on their day to day activities or even a business model?

A constructive critic is a helpful way of giving feedback that provides specific and actionable ways on how to deal with a certain issue.  In life it’s wise to have more of constructive criticism, than destructive, since they often help one to level up in terms of, customer’s expectation, quality, quantity, effectiveness, competency, efficiency and product and service delivery, hence promoting growth.

   On the other hand a destructive critics is a type of criticism   whose intention is to cause harm, undermine, or even cause damage on someone’s reputation, creation or self-esteem.  Therefore it’s important to understand that, a positive or constructive critic is simply like a good friend, while a negative critic is like a fake friend, one willing to stab you on the back for the sole purpose of getting ahead of you, be it in a working environment or a family setup.

We have all have come across criticism or even been criticized in our day to day life. Yet how one deal with it is what really counts. Often negatives critic sprouts from ones;

1.  Insecurities about life hence projecting it on others.

2.  Ones fears and bad decision.

3.  Feeling, inferior or worthless before someone.

4.  Low self-esteem, hence discrediting one ability or worthiness.

5.  Self-doubt

 Therefore it’s of great important, to learn and understand that ones’ view into criticism can either help project them ahead in life or be the cause of their down fall.  Criticism can either be a stepping stone to project you forward or backward, depending on how, as an individual you have place your foot on the staircase. Therefore, do what your heart feels is right and you’re at peace with, and remember you will still be criticized anyway. No matter how good or bad one can be.

 Remember if you’re not receiving any critics, then you may not be doing much in this world that makes the different.
