Feedback Thoughts

I liked reading the article A Fixed Mindset Could Be Holding You Back. I completely agree that everyone need to be both praised and critiqued to become a strong and motivated individual. From my understanding having a growth mindset means being able to except criticism and using it to improve. A person with a growth mindset is willing to improve and work hard to constantly learn more and do better. I am glad I will be getting feedback because otherwise I wouldn’t know what I was doing wrong and how I could do better.


The second article I read was Why It’s So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback. I liked this article because I definitely think it’s hard to give and receive negative feedback. Usually when you receive negative feedback you take it as if someone is purposely trying to hurt you when usually it’s just something you need to hear. At the same time, there is a difference between gently giving negative feedback and actually hurting someone. Feedback should be used to help someone improve, not to tear them down.
