This week @ladiesofhive Contest comes up with 2 questions.
1️⃣ How do you handle corrections or criticisms from other people?
Or
2️⃣ What do you usually do for fun and how often do you do them?
The second one is easier to answer but I will like to answer the first one, as it would be kind of challenging my own self to put out my grey areas in front of everyone.
No one likes criticism and so do I. I feel there is a very thin line between Correction and Criticism. Correction comes as a feedback where you have some guidance, suggestion for what you need to improve on. Whereas Criticism comes as an attack where someone is trying to pull you up harshly on your mistake.
Well I do have some amount of ego in accepting criticism. If someone criticizes me I get very defensive. But my approach in dealing with it depends from who it comes from. If it comes from someone I look up to or a friend who genuinely wishes good for me then I try to prove my point and defend myself giving all the possible reasons. reasons. If it comes from some one randomly trying to put me down for whatever xyz reasons then I just ignore the person and don't find it needful to explain myself.
There are some people who will never like you no matter however good you are and these type of people are always going to talk behind your back or criticize you or try to put you down in some or the other way. I do not feel my energy is worth wasting on them and there is no need for me to justify or even think about what they have to say about me.
For people who care for me, they will normally not criticize but correct me. And I take that very positively putting a thought on why they have to say that to me. Feedback is always constructive if taken in a positive and open manner. No one is perfect and so am I not perfect. We all have our flaws, and obviously I will not always be doing everything right. So if someone corrects me then I do put a thought as to why the person has given such a feedback. If I have to defend myself on it, I do and if I have to accept my mistake I do that also. I do not mind saying Sorry also if I am convinced that I am at fault or that if I have done something wrong.
To learn we have to take actions in life, and if we take actions there will be some room for error so there is no harm in accepting that and moving ahead with creating room for improvement for ourself.
I will like to invite @jaster to participate in this contest.
