Think back to the last time you received a compliment and the last time you were criticized. No doubt, when you received the compliment, you felt good – and when you received the criticism, you felt upset and wanted to reject it.

You shouldn’t be surprised by your reaction to the negative comment, as it’s a human’s survival mechanism to avoid being criticized. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.

However, there’s a serious problem with this approach. Namely, by doing our utmost to avoid being criticized, we allow ourselves to travel on a never-ending highway of mediocrity.

Without receiving negative feedback and criticisms from others, our growth and opportunities become stunted. And in the long term, we’re not only liable to fail – but to fail badly.

The Microsoft KIN is an example of how lacking criticisms leads to a great failure. Launched in 2010, this smartphone was a major failure despite its $ 1 billion development and marketing costs. Unbelievably, the phone only lasted on the market for 48 days. The problem? Microsoft failed to do comprehensive testing of the smartphone with the target demographic. It was only after the phone went on sale that it became blatantly obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iPhones to the Microsoft KIN.[1]

If criticism and feedback had been received by the target demographic while the phone was in development, Microsoft could have avoided the huge embarrassment and financial loss that occurred. As the story above demonstrates, early criticism is a necessary factor for future success.

Excessive praise weakens your motivation

I believe that criticism is better than compliments. But why do I think that? Well, let me give you a metaphor that will explain my rationale.

Picture in your mind praise being a type of health food. Now, no one would argue that healthy nutrition is a bad thing. However, what’s good for you in small or measured dosages can be bad for you if you take too much of it. You may be surprised to hear this even applies to your water consumption.[2] And your fruit consumption too.[3]

Clearly, too much food or drink – no matter how healthy they may be – can make us ill. For optimum health, we need a balanced intake of healthy food and drink.

It’s the same with compliments. Receiving them from time-to-time is a good thing, but if they’re all you ever hear, then they’re likely to have a negative impact on your ability to achieve things in life.

Excessive compliments take us away from our original motivation of simply enjoying an activity. We start doing the activity purely for the sake of receiving ego-satisfying praise.

However, enough time being stuck in the latter, means we become imprisoned by praise. Without the expectation of praise, our motivation to complete things begins to be lost.

As an example of this, think back to a time when you were learning a new sport. If your coach only praised you, then you’d have missed out on being shown what things you were doing wrong. And as a consequence, your ability to learn and refine your techniques would have be diminished.

Criticism encourages growth

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about trolls or abusive comments, I’m talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as ‘healthy criticism’. Feedback that helps to make you stronger.

If you always think you’re right but don’t get feedback from anyone else, how do you know for sure that what you’re doing is any good? Listening and acting on honest views will tell you precisely what you’re doing well – and what you can do better.

This type of feedback forces you to evaluate your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices and move you towards good ones.

The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you.

Grow strong through the power of criticism

Now that you’re familiar with the benefits of constructive criticism, let’s delve into several ways that you can use it to boost your productivity and success in life.

Criticism is generally more actionable than compliments.

For example, imagine you’re learning to play guitar, and in your first public performance your tutor says: “You did well.” Now, while these might be welcome words to your ears, they’re not as useful in helping you improve as: “Your timing needs some work.” With this piece of advice, you have specific guidance on how to quickly improve your performance skills. (You might need to spend hours playing alongside a metronome.)

Actively seek criticism by asking for feedback.

This could be in the form of a question.

Continuing the guitar playing example, you might ask your tutor (or other people who heard your performance): “What could I have done better?” You could also ask very specific questions. For instance: “Did my playing in the introduction sound in tune?”

Let’s be honest, most people don’t know how to give feedback – they typically offer vague comments filled with emotions. By asking specific questions, you’ll gain valuable feedback that will help you learn and develop quickly.

However, asking questions should also be to gain useful feedback, not to show you have doubts about your abilities and skills.

Take criticism with patience.

When you take criticism, I strongly recommend the following:

  • Be quiet and listen. Try to listen to as many perspectives as possible to get a full picture and more points of view.
  • Ask clarifying questions. Aim to understand what the other person means when they criticize you. Don’t make an initial judgement that they’re wrong. Understand first, then start to process their opinions.
  • Ask for suggestions to improve, but always refer back to your goals. After clarifying the problem, seek for suggestions, but don’t just try to satisfy others’ needs. Instead, refer back to your goals to see how improvements can align with your original intentions.
  • Take control of the process. Pick the right person. Typically, this would be someone who is honest, impartial but wants the best for you.

Rapid feedback is important.

Speed is also important when it comes to receiving feedback.

The sooner you get feedback from others, the faster you’ll know what to improve before going ahead with your plans or work. For example, if you’re planning on setting up your own business, ask some interested friends to provide feedback on your ideas. Do this before you launch your business, and you’ll save yourself valuable time learning the long and hard way.

Seek criticism instead of praise

The Power of Positive Thinking author Norman Vincent Peale said it well,

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

How true that is.

Fortunately, you now have the keys to help you move away from seeking praise – to instead, seeking constructive criticism. And once you start putting these keys to use, you’ll unlock the doors to a whole new way of learning, developing and succeeding.

  • Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said he wasn’t expecting photos of himself at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to be made public.
  • The photos of Mnuchin and his wife Louise Linton holding new money bearing his signature went viral last week.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said he wasn’t bothered when people online compared him to a James Bond villain after he posed for photos with money at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing last week.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday” to promote Republicans’ efforts to pass a major tax reform bill, the Treasury secretary said he wasn’t expecting photos of himself and his wife Louise Linton holding newly-printed dollar bills with Mnuchin’s signature on them to be made public.

“I guess I should take that as a compliment, that I look like a villain in a great, successful James Bond movie,” Mnuchin, a former Hollywood producer, said. “I was very excited of having my signature on the money.”

He added: “I didn’t realize that the pictures were public and going on the internet and viral, but people have the right to do that.”

Jacquelyn Martin, the AP photojournalist who snapped the shots, said there were multiple other media outlets there for the unveiling of the $ 1 bills. Mnuchin and Linton held the sheet of money up to pose for the cameras, she said.

The images quickly went viral, and opponents of President Donald Trump’s tax reform push used them to cast the administration’s efforts as out-of-touch and benefiting the wealthy.

Democrats trolled House Republicans using viral images and memes incorporating the images during the floor debate on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the GOP legislation aimed at overhauling the federal tax code.

Force blow Reds away1:57

Super Rugby: The Reds have suffered a big home loss to the Force.

  • May 26th 2017

Karmichael Hunt’s abrasive style can lead Reds to victory in Apia.

Jim TuckerThe Courier-Mail

THE “absolutely abrasive” style of Karmichael Hunt can be the key to a Reds upset in Samoa and final proof he deserves an immediate Wallabies debut against Fiji on June 10.

Coach Nick Stiles paid Hunt a major compliment when rating him as influential as Quade Cooper at the Reds this year because of his fearless rushing defence, support play and the intensity of his running from the back.

In steamy Apia, the fullback’s strongest assets will all have to be on song if a chastened Reds outfit is to topple the Blues, even minus injured All Black Sonny Bill Williams (knee).

Stiles wielded the axe as promised with inconsistent Wallabies Nick Frisby and Rob Simmons dropped and prop Sam Talakai benched after last Friday’s crash to the Western Force.

Recalled hooker Andrew Ready, almost unsighted since he was dropped for a fall-off in training standards seven weeks ago, will have a point to prove starting in place of Wallabies captain Stephen Moore, who was rested from this match.

James Tuttle is in at halfback for Frisby and strong-running backrower Caleb Timu will debut from the bench but the boldest of calls is uniting new Wallaby squad member Lukhan Tui, 20, and Izack Rodda, 20, as a young gun lock pairing.

ANALYSIS: Great unknowns but Cheika has a plan

It is the first time without Simmons or Kane Douglas as a “minder” for a young lock in the starting side.

Wonderful Samoan hospitality, a visit to a special needs school in Apia, clinics and village visits for the squad’s players of local heritage have enlivened the Reds but the punchline must be a big showing on the field.

Wallabies named: Backs10:23

Stiles was delighted that uncapped trio Eto Nabuli, Tui and Hunt were included in the Wallabies squad for this month’s three Tests.

“These three are all having their best seasons in different ways,” Stiles said.

“Karmichael has been absolutely abrasive with his play and is defending exceptionally well (in the centres).

“It says most about him that when he’s not been there it’s had a massive effect on the side.

“Lukhan was probably not on many people’s radar at all for a Wallabies jersey this year.

“Look closely at his performances and you’ll see a very big 119kg body with athletic ability who ball-carries, jumps, pushes and has a very big future.”

Hunt was delighted to win his Wallabies call-up and his performances finally mean he deserves it.

“It’s a huge honour for me and my family and when you are selected in any Wallabies or Kangaroos squad it comes as a surprise because there is so much talent for national teams,” Hunt said.

“It’s been a long road with a number of injuries and other things and I’m looking forward to putting my best foot forward in training to get a gig.”

Hunt said he didn’t see Israel Folau as a roadblock to his Wallabies ambitions because both are at their best at fullback, not when positional switches or a super sub role are possible.

“We’ve got a lot of history, playing with each other and against other in different codes, and it would be nice to get in the same team,” Hunt said.

“It’s been done before and Cheik (coach Michael Cheika) is one to look outside the box.

“Obviously, I’ve got no preference when it comes to the national team … I just want to win a jersey.”

Cummins’ bouncer barrage1:39

Cricket: Pat Cummins delivers a bounder barrage to dismiss KL Rahul in the fourth Test with India

Pat Cummins proved to be Australia’s marathon man on day two.

Ben HorneThe Daily Telegraph

World class game-breaker Pat Cummins was too fast for India, but sadly too fast for Matt Renshaw as well.

Rock solid Indian opener Lokesh Rahul could only marvel at the relentless pace and pressure applied by comeback kid Cummins.

“Josh and Cummins in the first session I can say it’s the toughest session I’ve faced in Test cricket so far,” said Rahul.

But Australia were left to rue two dropped catches from 20-year-old Renshaw at first slip – one a near impossible chance but the other a regrettable sitter in the fourth last over of the day.

Cummins finished with Rahul’s prized scalp and figures of 1-59 but deserved so much more from an extraordinary 21 overs of toil where he never once stopped breaking the speed gun.

Australia are in this deciding Test up to their eye balls but they must come out on day three and negate a big miss in the shadows of stumps on Sunday.

Just when the second new ball was taken, Wriddhiman Saha – who made a century in the last Test – edged Cummins into Renshaw’s bread basket, only for the golden opportunity to spill out.

Until Sunday, Renshaw had been as faultless in the slips as he has been opening the batting to start his blossoming career, and Australia believe Cummins can make up for lost time on Sunday when he relaunches again with a full head of steam.

“I think he really showed his world class and Josh Hazlewood has been the same,” said Aussie destroyer Nathan Lyon.

STUMP REPORT: Roaring Lyon puts India in a spin

“There hasn’t been much life for the big quicks and I think the way Hoff and Patty have gone about it has been exceptional and it just shows the class of those two individuals. I reckon they work really together and it’s great signs for Australian cricket.”

Brilliant Lyon lifts Aussies3:10

Cricket: The fourth Test was starting to slip away, as India began to chase down Australia’s first innings total of 300 with ease, but Nathan Lyon helped put the decider in balance.

“It’s exciting to see Patty Cummins back and bowling fast.

“We saw Patty made a chance there with the new ball so if we can come out and bowl well again in the morning, cricket’s a funny game.

“We just need to come out and do exactly the same thing we did to the top order. We’ve got some world class players in our shed if we can go out and bowl well in partnerships, create chances and push on from there.”

Cummins put his recharged body to the ultimate test as he crashed through the new wall of Indian cricket to get Australia back into the game.

Just two Tests into a comeback six years in the making, Cummins was pushed to his limits by captain Steve Smith on a Dharamsala pitch smoking hot right from the opening ball.

In just three sessions the 23-year-old, who had only one Sheffield Shield match to prepare him for his second baptism of fire in Test cricket, had bowled 21 overs to worry even the most liberal sports scientist.

However, Cummins’ breathtaking 145km/h pace showed no sign of subsiding.

Cummins locked horns with India’s new unmoveable object Rahul in an enthralling battle between explosive wicket-taker and fighting batsman.

Like namesake Rahul “the wall” Dravid before him, Lokesh has proven a constant thorn in Australia’s side this series, scoring five half centuries in six innings.

But Cummins kept on coming and made sure the 24-year-old is still without a hundred to show for his hours of toil.

Cummins had fireball after fireball flat batted back down the wicket to him, until midway through the second session when the rapid right-hander had Rahul miscue a pull shot only to sky it up for David Warner to take the grab at mid-off for 60 off 124 balls.

When The Walking Dead’s showrunner Scott Gimple told TVLine that viewers would dig the group being introduced in “New Best Friends,” I’ll admit I was skeptical. To me, the AMC drama already seemed overpopulated. But, after getting a load of Pollyanna McIntosh’s Jadis and her fantastically freaky junkyard collective, I’m eating my words. They. Are. Awesome. Even series lead Andrew Lincoln agrees. “One of my loveliest moments on set,” the Scottish actress says, “was when he turned around and went, ‘You guys are weird. I like you.’”

PHOTOSWalking Dead‘s 22 Most Painful Deaths

Endearingly, McIntosh — a veteran of SundanceTV’s Hap and Leonard and the fearsome star of the Offspring sequel The Woman — is just as enamored of her character as Lincoln and me. Before auditioning, she was told that the casting call for Jadis “was going out to both sexes, and that really thrilled me,” she exclaims. “I loved that open-mindedness and knowing that traditional femininity was not an issue here. And yet she was not to act particularly masculine, either. Whether a woman or a man, she was a leader, and that was that.”

Apparently, Jadis is a pretty inventive leader, too. When presented with her unique speech pattern, her portrayer “decided it was about her making the group more cohesive, so they have something in common that’s not just that they dress similarly and even wear their hair similarly,” she explains. “Also, it gives them a bit of mystery and is a power play. It kind of intimidates outsiders speaking that way. You get your point across, get what you need and keep this sort of division between ‘them’ and ‘us.’

“I’m going to have to start speaking like that now,” she adds with a laugh, “when I want to get things done!”

Though McIntosh — a self-professed “big puppy that talks too much” — acknowledges that she’s gotten into the “habit of playing characters who don’t say a lot but are pretty intimidating,” she won’t divulge how formidable a fighter Jadis will turn out to be. However, she does hint at a promising alliance between the collective and Alexandria. After Jadis concludes her negotiation with Rick, “you can see from the smile on her face that she’s pretty pleased with how things have gone down,” notes McIntosh. “But there’s also that lovely moment with the handshake and her not wanting to touch his bloody hand. She makes sure that he knows who’s still on top.”

Today is National Compliment Day and Twitter is exploding with nice things. It’s a welcome change from “alternate facts” and the heavy political situation that is strangling the United States right now.

National Compliment Day is a relatively new unofficial holiday. The day is celebrated on January 24 of every year. It was established in 1998 in New Hampshire. According to the World’s Special Days website, two women created the day to remind people that a positive connection with anyone can be quickly and easily established by giving a compliment. Debby Hoffman, from Concord, and Kathy Chamberlin, from Hopkinton, wanted a way to tell the people in their lives how much they appreciated them.

According to Time and Date, the key to a good compliment is sincerity. Because it’s easy to start to take people for granted in our hustle-and-bustle lives, and it’s easy to forget the kind faces around us, use today as a way to reconnect. In light of the hateful rhetoric that is being spewed on national television and the news over the election and the new administration, National Compliment Day is a way to say to someone that hey, you’re awesome.

And keep in mind that when you compliment someone, they aren’t the only one who receives a benefit. Just like the founders realized, giving a compliment makes you feel good and creates a small bond between you and the person you’re complimenting. That helps fight off the loneliness that many of us feel, if only for a little while. Compliments also boost your self confidence as well as the esteem of the person you’re giving one too. And who knows, when you compliment someone, you just might get one back as well.

After all, like the saying goes, “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”

Some suggestions for how to celebrate National Compliment Day are:

  • Compliment your family. Tell your wife or mom how much they mean to you. Compliment the cook on their meal prep. If you’re a parent, tell your kids how proud of them you are. Specify something they do well and let them know.
  • At work, tell your boss how great he is. Of course, this might be more difficult, depending on where you work, but you can also target your co-workers. And if there’s some tension between you and others, a few sincere compliments might help ease the tension.
  • Your friends are often the ones you take for granted the most. A good and loyal friend should always be reminded of how awesome they are. Take the opportunity to take your buddy out for a celebratory drink and toast his good qualities.
National Compliment Day is Celebrated every January 24

  • Compliment your neighbor. It’s said that tall fences make for good neighbors, but the occasional good-natured comment on how their lawn or garden is doing will help as well. There’s something about even the worst neighbors that can be complimented.
  • Be generous with your compliments. You don’t lose anything when you give someone a compliment, but you could gain a lot. A well-placed compliment to a friend, co-worker, or family member will only do good.

This isn’t the only day that’s geared toward compliments. There’s also a World Compliment Day that is celebrated on March 1 of every year. World Compliment Day is also called International Compliment Day.

And if you’re complimented, the best response is always either a simple thank you, or a compliment in return.
