When you meet someone...say at a party...& if the person says 10 good things about you along with one terribly bad thing....you are instinctively bound to remember the bad thing most of all!It's inherent human nature to take brickbats more seriously than backpats,specially if one is of the sensitive type.
This, I guess can be attributed to the fact that we are more conscious about where we go wrong than what we get right because the former is the case whereign ammendments are required unlike the latter where we've already set a standard.
Let's face the fact.Mistakes are inevitable!They are bound to happen.Hence,what becomes critical is the ability to own up to the mistakes & learn from them.
Now,mistakes only become visible when we receive flak for that.In fact,that is what really makes us pull up our socks & try harder with more vigour the next time.
It's criticism which actually with all it's apparently negative vibes,induces in us the urge to prove the critics wrong...which makes us introspect to find out our flaws....& which eventually steers & pushes us to work out of our wits to overcome our weaknesses.
