When someone recieves criticism he or she should thank the criticizer. He is revealing to that person that there is a blind spot.
When I receive critisim it drives me nuts. I get furious and start thinking negative things automaticlly about the criticizer. Then I drop to a state of depression and think that I am worthless, that I cant do anything.
When you're in university, you should crticize and recieve criticizm that is how you will ever improve.
I guess for this reason I like so much technical and autoamatic things, rotuine things like answering customers email's. They are less hard then writing a sceintic argments, or presenting material in front of an intelligent audience that can tell when you are faking, when you are shallow .
We're writing a questioneire and recieve tasks to write each week. I guess that when I am asked to do something of this sort (i.e- write something that need to be good!)
I remember last year. Last year I was a TA and wrote lesson plans. I sat by myself in front of a word file writing, deleting, sending, recieve a document back with so many changes and remarks. It sounds benin when I write it but it was pretty horrible for me.
It's not the same in this task we are all peers.
Still, I'd say my problem is my emotions interefere in my work.
Or maybe I choose too dificult task that frustrate me. I don't know.
I really don't.
So I try to tell myself, that when it is hard, that is the sign that you are improving like when you strech your muschle and it hurts that is the sign that you are growing flexible.
It's hard to be me...
But that's life, take what you have and make the most out of it.
