CRITICISM: Bane or Blessing?

it really depends whether the criticism is constructive or destructive... if it is a constructive criticism, then i will accept it with an open heart and even thank the person who criticize me... i will do some self-reflections as well... but if the criticism is destructive, then i will just ignore it as i think it is not worth it to waste my time on such criticism... take care and have a nice day...

Blessing I must say as a criticism can make you a better person. But then again, its how something has been said, or how you see things being told to you. It still goes down to how it was given to you. A constructive criticism should not tackle only the bad things, they must also suggest stuffs that can make whatever you did, better. Constructive Criticism- Your content is good, but you do not seem confident about what you are saying, I think you should be more confident for you to convince your audience. Bad Criticism- You are fidgeting while you are standing there like an idiot. Do you know what you are talking about? did you really study your piece?

I consider criticism as blessing. In my case wheneve i get a criticism I work towards it and get good results out of it. For instant we may feel bad but after sometime you can always think the positive side of it and be happy. It is a bane for the people who takes it and blessing for the person who utilise the opportunity.

Hi! Well, I think whether criticism would be a bane or blessing absolutely depends on two things. First, who gives it and what is his/her reason, and second, to whom was it given and how/she accepts it. There are people who would criticize you because they want to bring you down. On the other hand, there are people who criticize others because they want him/her realize what else he/she can do to make things better. The person who accepts it is also a great factor as I have said. The way you accept criticism would affect how that criticism would change your life. If you accept is as a piece of good advice and work on it, then good. But if you would only see the negative side of the opinion expressed, bad. I think we should all be careful in giving criticism and accepting it. It may be hard, or may be easy. It may be unacceptable, or just right. But anyways, we should do our best in everything and accept criticism as something for our betterment. Right? :D

If anyone criticizes me, I would consider what they say and use their comments to empower myself more. Though, I've come across those who criticizes only to belittle me, I used to cringe away at that, but now I just don't care! I take the criticisms that are no doubt for my growth and just dismiss those that only makes my self confidence shrink...anyway, I can't very well please everyone! Usually those close to you who gives criticism are usually only thinking of your welfare, and they have a point most of the times, but those who doesn't even have an inkling of who and what you are and give you their piece of mind, well, they're not worth your thinking time...Believe in yourself, and you'll find that in the end those friends who are worth keeping will tell you your right...
