24 / 365 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!
