If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.
If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.
It is easier to criticize than to correct our past errors.
I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.
Let us agree here today to adopt among ourselves a simple and unwritten rule. We will not rise to criticize someone else's idea unless we are prepared to offer an alternative idea of our own.
I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.
Critics have their purposes, and they're supposed to do what they do, but sometimes they get a little carried away with what they think someone should have done, rather than concerning themselves with what they did.
You can learn a lot from criticism if you can take what's constructive out of it. If you read a review that starts with, 'This person is an idiot; who do they think they are?', you're not going to learn anything from that.
Everyone's a critic: when you are doing something good, everybody wants to bring you down, and that's something I've been told. People want to see you do good, but not too good.
When people criticise you, you've got to listen to that criticism, and to learn from it, which I've tried to do.
