Sailing Through India Epics : Feedback Thoughts: How You Can Improve if Your Thoughts Do

As you go throughout life giving an getting feedback is a part of it. Whether you are on a sports team and the coach is calling the team together about the game, or a boss talks to his coworker about the job he has been doing. Feedback is inevitable and crucial to a workplace and its employees because that is how a corporation gets better. I read an article about receiving feedback and it was called, "Using Harsh Feedback to Fuel Your Career" by William Treseder. He talks about getting rejected from the marines helps him become better and reach is goals more. On the opposite end is giving feedback. When you speak to a child you have to be very precise on how you choose your words. If not then the child could either be a person who is too hard on themselves or to into themselves. All of that stems from how they are treated and praised growing up. The article about the difference between praise that I read is what cultivated this idea of how important words are in a situation. I believe this is something I could take away for my everyday life. If everyday I thought a little bit about what I should say before speaking then less arguments could occur. If I thought before I spoke then maybe everything I say sounds more articulated. Another article said it similar when it says you should pick and choose which kind of praise you give children because it is important. They said that it is better to be present for a child then give them words that will boost them up too much. The article "Presence, Not Praise" by Maria Popova reveals that in the end children do not need too much praise by they need someone who is around to love on them. The last article I read is titled, " Why Rejection hurts so much-and what to do about it" by Guy Winch. This article explains how to overcome reaction and key things you have to focus on. Things meaning boost your self worth, focus on social connection, and don't involve yourself in self criticism. He believes that self worth is key to receiving feedback well. He also says that as social mammals we need connection to feel wanted and needed. Lastly, it is important to love yourself and say kind words to you in order for you be able to say kind words and do kind actions to others. These articles showed how I can better give and receive feedback. I should not take words people say too personal but focus on what is being said so I can approve as a person.
