Handling criticism Part 1

Criticism is the analysis, judgment or expression of disapproval of someone, or something based on perceived mistakes or wrong. It is important to realize that these judgments are predicated on a person's knowledge or foundation of what is right. Therefore, in other to evaluate criticism one must not only have an idea of the intention of the person criticizing, but also their foundation of truth or what is right in the situation. Handling criticism can be challenging, but it's an important skill for personal and professional growth. Not all feedback is aimed at helping the listener, some are motivated by ulterior motives. Handling criticism is a skill that can be developed over time with practice and self-awareness.
