Taking Criticism

This is very important to improving your work to a better standard and shows a great level of confidence.

The problem in some cases is that some people listen to the advice given and dont actually follow it. This is just going to get you a bad reputation with people around you and will not make the difference to your work that it needs.

Although that person may of made some great points about the parts of your work that are good. You also need to understand the things they say about the bad parts. This is the key to improving and developing your work.

The problem occurs when work is criticised about the bad and not the good. You must always have something good to say about work, not just bad. This can just lead to people getting demoralised and that wont help them at all.

Also on a personal level when you see that happening to someone, it can be fairly annoying as well.

Think then speak, cya next time.

Why?

It has been said and I do agree, there are alot of issues that you can talk about when discussing grades and exams and why it is so important to think about how well your work is assessed.

Then why is it that my mind does not want to think about it. Am I just being stubborn or is it something else.

This is something I have been thinking about for a while now, as this project has progressed to this stage.


I have realised that when I hear someone start to talk about something effecting their grade I stay very quiet and become nervous and sometimes even phisically uncomfortable.


I think that the subject for me is a mental thing that somehow and at some point made a mental block. To some this might sound strange but then, I'am pretty strange!


I have a large fear of failure, which is odd because I was never pushed into doing anything and so have no reason for being that way.
So what is it about the subject of grading and more to the point, doing your work correctly that makes me uncomfortable?
The subject for this blog to me is a way of finding out just that.
