Poetic Dreams - Other's Poems - Criticism - 2 - by: Barbara Goodhew - submitted: 7 October 2004

We all can handle constructive critism.
When we think it comes from wisdom.
No we can't, some think critism helps.
Others take critcism as an insult.
All we remember are the critisims not the praise.
And if we don't like what the kids hear.
If trying to make a good impression, we shouldn't
talk or say things we don't want them to repeat.
The saying monkey see monkey do is what we have to
realise that the monkeys (kids) are watching.

Brb, another great read...
2 often through CRITICISM it is 2 easy 2 see the errors of others 2 much is focused in finding FAULT of others failing to se our own, i'm human i've done it many times..
in CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM one can filter the what is said and what is meant .....again i am human i have done that error.
like a good deed, setting oneself as an example..has to be an on going thing not just for one day...true a child sees our example and often of HOW we express, and of how often..
Parents are watching too.. I like to find a good deed by accident..thats how kids come across our examples..my children always set an example for me ;)
i usually find myself brainstorming and selecting the perfect words in my heart that i want to share, i want to make sure that they don't come out w/a spear, as i do not want them to return to me as a blow or a bruise upon my heart..my words are a reflection of what i apply to my own life, and i do hope that at least ONE simple word touches ONE soul..so i breakaway from life to pray..i turn inward to myself , you know what i find there? i find a bit of every one in my life...

True
Yes Barb -- kids learn by example and we should be careful what we say and do.

to the point
My friend Barb,
It is good to see you have so many followers just in the comments I read,
You write so clear with a truth that cuts,
Critisism, to other should be constructive, a learning experiance, Not all will see the words we write or get the meaning that we felt, That's ok for I write for me but if you like then I'm pleased..

I write for myself too my opinions of things is what I feel. I know that others won't agree, but it makes me feel better writing my feelings about things.
