Learn from feedback and criticism from "summary" of The Mindset of Success by Jo Owen
When people criticise or give feedback, it can be hard to listen. It is easy to become defensive. After all, it is not pleasant to be told that you are wrong, or that your work is not up to standard. But feedback, however uncomfortable it might be, is an essential part of learning and growth. It gives you a chance to see things from a different perspective, and to understand where you might be going wrong. It is an opportunity to improve, to develop your skills, and to become the best version of yourself. Feedback can come from many sources. It might be from a boss, a colleague, a friend, or a family member. It might be formal, in the form of a performance review, or informal, in the form of a passing comment. Whatever the source, and whatever the form, feedback is a gift. It is a chance to learn, to adapt, and to grow. It is a chance to see your blind spots, to understand your weaknesses, and to work on them. It is a chance to become the person you want to be. Criticism, like feedback, can be hard to take. It is not pleasant to be told that you are not good enough, or that you have made a mistake. But criticism, too, is an opportunity for growth. It is a chance to see your failings, and to learn from them. It is a chance to understand where you are going wrong, and to make a change. It is a chance to become better, stronger, and wiser. When you receive feedback or criticism, it is important to listen. It is important to put aside your ego, and to be open to what others have to say. It is important to see things from their perspective, and to consider their point of view. It is important to reflect on what they have said, and to think about how you can use it to improve. It is important to see feedback and criticism as an opportunity, rather than a threat. In the end, feedback and criticism are essential parts of learning and growth. They are chances to develop your skills, to understand your weaknesses, and to become the best version of yourself. They are gifts, not curses. So the next time you receive feedback or criticism, embrace it. Learn from it. Grow from it. And become the person you want to be.
