Healthy Feedback

 If every single person did their own things without any feedback whatsoever, the world might look a bit different than now, probably for the worst. The way we critique and praise others for their ideas and work is extremely important to the structure of our society. Sure, you may think feedback is merely judgement from others than only look to tear you down. This is sometimes the case as in our modern society so heavily influenced by social networking, people on the internet often leave behind unconstructive and mean comments. Healthy feedback is important as we do not want the person to feel let down, but rather encouraged to do better. Feedback is also not always about looking at the negative side of all things. Positive feedback exists as when a person has done a good job, he/she should be praised so. We must train ourselves to be able to take feedback as it is a great way to improve ourselves. However, as the person giving the feedback, you must be mindful of the person's work/idea and make sure to not sound condescending. Open-mindedness is a huge step towards this.
