Life is unfair. Sometime we win, sometimes we lose also. In life, we cannot avoid criticisms. My dear friends and fellow mylotters, do you learn also to accept criticisms? I personally, accepts all criticisms. It is okay to me that I am criticized. Through criticisms, I believe I become stronger and more compact. Through criticisms of other people, I become strong enough to handle different situations in life.

There are some times in life where it is really hard to accept criticism. However, it is something that we do need to learn to accept because if we are able to listen to the criticism that other people have of us, we are really able to grow as people. There will be some times that the criticism that we get are not things that are really accurate, but there are a lot of times that those criticisms are things that we can listen to and things that we are able to grow from.

You don't have to listen to everything other people say. Sometimes, people don't get into the context and of course we can't expect them to do that; after all, everybody evaluates things based on their own point of view. I am most frustrated with people who give their piece about a situation that they have not experienced before and have no idea what it is like to be in that situation. On the other hand, there are people who have been quite experienced with the situation. Some opinions might be of value but there are others who give their two cents out of selfishness and greed. Be careful of what you accept. You cannot trust everyone.

Critizm i guess its part of our life. Cristizm help us also to learn from our mistakes. And we cannot please everyone to accept and understand us. No matter what we do good or bad they always hav something to say. What important is you know who you are and you have not step anyone shoes.

I think people tend to be to sensitive about criticism. I've surrounded myself with some very good friends that I trust to speak into my life. Along with that trust comes the opportunity for criticism as well in order that I can become a better person. We aren't meant to do life solo we are relational beings and through the constructive criticism of the loved ones around us we become better people.

I think that it is always like this. people will most definitely have something to say and most people i have known has their opinions and it is true we cannot please anyone. That is for sure! For me, i have learned to not mind what people say... afterall i know that i would only feel bad if they criticise me...

I have to admit that I am learning to be better in this area of my life. Many of the people around me have good intentions with their comments and if I can train myself to tune out the tone or rude elements and turn off my auto defense response there can be real learning to be found with the comment. I know that I have to listen to criticism in order to grow and expand as an individual and as an artist . I just wish more people would remember that it is not always what you say as much as it is about how you say it. I am a work in progress and try to remember that they are too and maybe we can all grow together.

Hi kai! We all need to learn to accept criticisms. It may be a bitter pill but we need to listen to others' comments for our own improvement. Apart from criticism, it also hurts when other people dont always agree with what you have in mind. Lets just be objective then.

You need to have a positive mindset on responding to critisism. Critisisms actually makes us better people. Wise men learn from their mistakes, and they are very keen on handling critisisms very well. Though it is mostly painful and hurting, it will correct your mistakes and will develop excellence in life.

This is so negative. Obviously you are insincere in your approach to life. If you think you need criticism then you can’t not be very confident about your life. The above statement is a criticism. Since you started this topic I thought I would offer in this topic an alternative thought. You can respond to it but please consider what is being said here. Your topic says the following to me. Accepting criticism will make you stronger and you will become a better person. I agree with this and do also accept criticism but I also qualify each and every criticism. Before you respond let us together examine the first three sentences. 1) I think the topic is positive. So do not agree with #1 2) I don’t know you personally so I can I possibly know your sincerity. There is nothing that indicates this so #2 is untrue. 3) I think it is the contraire’. Those that listen to criticism are more confident. What I am saying here is sometimes criticisms are wrong and we need to toss them aside but I think you will admit after reading the first three sentences you did consider the possibility and that – that- can mess us up, not actually help us? Your turn
