How do you regard constructive criticism?

Well I think it depends on a few things - who is giving the criticism, has the persons opinion been sought or is it being volunteered, is it genuinely constructive? I think most of us are often not that great at taking criticism (particularly in our private life) but if it's offered in the right spirit and in a positive way we should take it on board.

It really depends what you consider to be constructive crisicism. Some are rather harsh on someone and then say they are only using 'constructive criticism' to help them, when in reality, they aren't constructive about it at all. When people are using actualy constructive criticism, I appreciate it. I take all opinions in, and I work from that to better whatever it is that I may be doing. At the workplace, you will always get this type of criticism, and you really need to thicken your skin if you let it all get to you.

i believe everyone should take constructive criticism as an advice......which will guide u to the path of success..... u should be open minded to take any type of criticism in ur stride n must work on the + criticism to make urself better n better.......

I personally think that it depends on the situation. For someone else to tell me that the way I did something, wasn't right and I should have done it another way, just doesn't seem right. If I was that other person, I would have done it that way. I think unless it has to do with your job, or school, then there really isn't anything constructive criticism. Now... Opinions, on the other hand I love. I take, listen and learn from all sorts of opinions. This is how I grow, how I learn to do things differently, and how I can learn about other people. But having someone else who is NOT ME, tell me how I should do something, just isn't my thing.

I think negative motivation to some extent helps us to do things better, because it touches our ego and that really triggers our nerves and make us do. But positive motivation makes us feel complacent and that might remove the pressure a little bit and we may not put in the complete effort. But too much negative motivation will make us feel sorry and we may lose our morale. So it should be controlled and limited.

I dont mind constructive criticism. If it is something that makes me better myself then bring it on. It might make me feel a little bad but i would appreciate someone telling me to my face that something wasnt good rather than saying it behind my back. I however do tend to mind if the person criticising seems to be enjoying it too much or is someone who is always criticising everyone. In that case even if the person is right i wouldnt listen to them. Theres only so much criticism a girl can take ;) A critic is a person who analyses something and judges the good as well as the bad in that which is the same thing that a judge would do, so yes i agree a good judge will have to be a critic.

You are absolutely right!! To be frank, I dont like criticism, but trying hard to build that within me!! Letz see...

I try to appreciate constructive criticism and use it to better myself. Sometimes we don't always like to hear what has to be said, but usually there is a lesson to be learned. What I don't respond well to is someone who just criticizes to be critical and negative.

Constructive criticisms are fone for me. It becomes your motivation to do better. We should take criticisms with gratitude and not hostility.
