Getting Through the Meat and Bones of Critiques

One of the marks of excellence is using criticism constructively. Looking at things from another's viewpoint is a great way to improve whatever product you have which could be yourself, a business, a project, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes people give their critique in a manner that it is so painful and even insulting sometimes. The best thing you can do is cancel out any profanity they used in getting their points across. Those are bones. Leave the bones alone as they say and take the meat. There is some value if you look hard enough.

Accepting Criticism With A Grain of Salt

There will always be people who will tell you something negative no matter what. It is your job to humbly keep your ears and mind open so you can sift through the critique you get. Some people will give you a destructive critique and others will give you a constructive critique. Make sure you focus on the latter.
