I need feedback to help me grow. Image source: Blogspot.
I really like this meme/quote because it is so simple, yet so powerful. The words it's saying are true!!! We truly cannot grow as people without feedback. If we could reach our fullest potential all by ourselves, we wouldn't need school, or parenting, or mentors, or advice.
In order to become better in whatever it is - a sport, a school subject, controlling emotions, learning, anything - we have to be able to receive feedback. This is such a simple concept, but not so easy to accept all the time. Sometimes we feel that we don't need other's input or we don't want people telling us what to do. The hardest part is learning how to accept it and take it with a grain of salt in order to improve ourselves every day!
I agree that these words are very powerful. Feedback is the best way to help you grow. How are you able to progress in life if you do not get results in which you can analyze? It is true that the hardest part of feedback is acceptance, especially if it involves critique. It's human nature to have an unhappy response to antithetical opinions. Despite not wanting to hearing the information, it does not mean that a person shouldn't hear it.
