it was a great challenge for each one of us to face critics and preparing how to take their criticism.
Some people say, they are pleased to be criticized. Yes, partially, they are saying the truth. But deep inside of each heart, there's a question, asking what are those things they didn't put into to make them look almost perfect. Almost perfect for no one's perfect, and to be away from criticism.
Critics always say they criticize for the benefit of the one being criticized. IT might let them know what to improve and to change. It can challenge each heart to do more, think more, and aim high.
But what are those things beyond the brighter side, that we can see as a leak to criticism.
As my teacher in English old me to use euphemism to minimized one hear and mind from heavy thoughts that might hurt their feelings.
Each were created unique from each other. If one can handle criticism as a challenge, somebody might be afraid to be criticized.
That might be the reason perfectionist are born. They are afraid to be criticized that's why they've always wanted to be perfect. They planned their life to be flawless, smooth, and straight.
It may alarm the critics to say things in accordance to the heart of a person. Coz' even a word can change ones perspective in life. It's a make or break word.
To put some lessons to learn for the critics that criticized as if there's no second chance, I collected things and situations that might result from criticism.
1. initiating argument and debate
Every after criticism, confrontations may follow, that could leak the main issue into more tangled problems from the past. This will not just affect the main person but also the persons surrounding them.
2.destructive effect
We cannot avoid sensitive persons. They scattered anywhere,hanging around. To the point that critics may hit them unintentionally. They often react just keeping their concerns secretly. Feeling the pain inside their heart that no one know. It can reduce their confidence. Aiming low and dreaming none for their life for they are afraid to be criticized again. They will feel they are incompetent.
3.discrimination
Once criticized person may try to avoid the crowd because of hurt feelings. It will serve as a blocking wall for them to face the reality and to socialize to grow as a mature being.
Hoping that critics will get my point, i wanted you to write down or comment on how you criticize. when was the last time you are criticized and how you respond.
Almost all of us, responds to criticism the way we criticize. Sometimes people who love to criticize afraid to be criticize.
Well we better accept each differences. It's just that we are different from each one of us.
