PROMPT November 7th

Today's prompt is taken from a book I own. "Great Quotes From Great Leaders", published by Motorola, my employer. This one is from Norman Vincent Peale. "The trouble with most of us, is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism." Do you feel this is a valid statement? Tell us why you feel the way you do.


Most people these days have little concept of how to handle criticism, even the constructive kind. They would rather accept and believe a lie as long as it strokes their egos. I have a hard time being critical of others because I can all to easily read into what they have written what they really meant to write and I see that effort not what made it to the page necessarily. I like to think I take criticism well compared to many. I accept even mean reviews with the knowledge that for someone to take the time to review something, I have to have made them feel something, even if they hated it.
