My Realization After Getting A Constructive Criticism

Yesterday, I got to read an article that knocked me off right away. It was @Eybyoung 's article, which I even call a Wake-Up Call Article because it gives me the realization that I needed to level up here.

When I first read the title, I knew it was an article inspired by my post. I got this gut feeling and yes, I was right when she mentioned this after commenting on my article.

My reaction

To be honest, I was a bit hurt while reading the article. Well, as they say, truth does hurt. I was a bit hurt but not to the point that I got mad or something. I was hurt because everything she wrote there was true. I was writing for the goals and not because of the love of writing, which was supposed to be what I came here for.

My action

Right after reading hers, I checked mine to see it for myself and finally confirmed that she was right. All this time, I have been writing more about goals, achievements, and money, and less about life, fun things I love, or things I used to share before.

So as mentioned in my previous article, moving forward, I'll write more about non-money-related. I will still publish an article about my monthly report though, or when I reach another full BCH, which doesn't happen every day so I think that's fine.

Realization

After reading her article, I was also surprised at how well I handled her constructive criticism. I realized that I'm now matured enough after not getting offended by her feedback. I did not overreact and just see them as a good way to improve myself as a frustrated writer rather than see them as an insult or something.

Yes, I was a bit hurt because it was true, but I wasn't offended because she was just stating a fact based on her observation and experience. In short, there was nothing to be offended for, and I'm more grateful she made an article about that. I wouldn't be able to see what's wrong with me if she didn't write about it.

I accepted her feedback with positive thoughts because I know it would be beneficial for me in the long run. You see, when we make mistakes, for instance, we don't really see them as mistakes. We see them differently. Through others' feedback, only then we realized our flaws and what's really missing.

So her article made me realize that I'm no longer the kind of writer who used to share random stuff coz I was focused on writing the same genre over and over again.


Final thoughts

Based on the articles I wrote in the last 30 days, I know she's right. It seems to me that I'm getting more obsessed with earning more BCH here than sharing good thoughts on this platform.

So that wake-up call aka article has indeed woken me up for a long and deep sleep. Now, time to wake up and shake it up.

Based on what I read here, you are indeed matured already 'coz taking a constructive criticism positively is quite hard but you did it. And I'm one of your followers kasi na di makarelate sa mga crypto articles.hehe that's why I just skip and just gave thumbs up 😅

I always gave my 100% best but it's just that it's more on goals than the usual stuff. Well, it's never too late to get back on track, so I'm working on that now.

It was okay naman to write about it, pero not always kasi it gets boring over time.. I mean you will bore your readers although your intention was to inspire but doing it like every now and then, it must be boring especially to your non crypto fans.. who cannot relate. I am glad you take it lightly tho, I just want to apologize I didn't tell you directly but through an article because I also want it to be an eye opener for others. I hope you don't hate me for that 🤣

The hate word is overrated and no, I don't hate or feel mad about it. As I've said, I'm more grateful of your article coz it was my eye-opener, and I appreciate for that.

Thanks..MJ 😊 Although that will be my last time from this day onwards I will mind my own but you can still ask for my opinion on something if you want.. Because sometimes when you care so much some will think you are being overrated 🤣

And that's one of my intentions too when posting something coz I can't say it directly to someone.. But sometimes, other people will just misunderstand it.. Although I know I was wrong...and I mean my apology...

Feedback and criticism matter. Because it helps us realize our mistakes... Because we have thids window in ourself that only others can see.. Although sometimes we are aware of it, but we tend to ignore it... We sometimes need to be pushed by others to get back to our senses. Only then we will realize what we have done.. Our mistakes.

True. Super true. Kaya it's nice to have friends who are not afraid to tell it straight or kahit indirectly. So happy ako sa article niya kasi me natotonan ako.

Indeed, you handled it so well. And any initial reaction after receiving any criticism is valid. Of course, who wants to be criticized right?

But then, after gathering our thoughts, reflecting on our own actions, accepting and seeing the point of their criticism, I can really see that you took it the right way.

Tbh, i'm not your avid reader but i'll really look forward to more random articles of yours. :)

We should take Criticism as constructive scale. Sure @Eybyoung is great content creator sometime her article change our emotions and feelings as well.

True. You won't learn if you won't listen to people's feedback. And you won't learn and grow if you keep doing the same thing over and over again.
