Learn from Criticisms
Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.
Christopher Hampton
Are you comfortable to take criticism and feedback constructively? We need to develop this important quality. Many of us do not encourage others to criticise us. Think of the consequence of complete absence of any feedback and criticism about you. The more you dislike feedbacks and criticisms, the less others will be free to offer the same. We may be thinking that what we do is right, but it may not be true.
Do you want to know where you have to improve? Choose five people whom you trust most. Ask them to write down three things which they don't like in you! Do this exercise sincerely and honestly.
Of the various things pointed out, choose five most important issues and draw an action plan for self-improvement. Focus on one issue per week and try to eliminate the same from you.
This may look odd, but do it. Stand in front of a mirror and openly criticise yourself! Suggest changes to the person in front of you and notice what happens to your own personality over a period of time!
Try this out!
