No-one likes to hear anything negative said about them. We’d much rather bask in the endless sunshine of admiration and love. But criticism is absolutely vital for our development. A child that is shielded from criticism and boundaries will grow up insecure and will keep avoiding feedback or exposure for criticism and failure for the rest of her life.

The greatest mistake we make is to confuse criticism and love. To give criticism and feedback has nothing to do with not loving the person. in fact, the biggest gift you can give your loved ones sometimes is to help them grow.

We should not be afraid of criticism as it helps us to become a better person. By accepting criticism and being ready to evaluate yourself you can find a stronger foothold in this world.
