Are you a critic?

Criticism.

Just a loud thinking on this subject triggered by what I read in facebook today.

Even the mention of this word irritates the receiver when he/she thinks that it is aimed at him/her.

Do you know that there are 2 types of criticisms?

One is constructive criticism and the other one is destructive.

Constructive criticism is always welcome - since it gives scope for further improvements on the part of the doer, provided the receiver is in a receptive mood.

You could have just watched many constructive criticisms - like Subbudu / Kalki isai vimarisanams, (mostly) where they voice the criticism and also suggest some improvements.

Constructive criticism encourages the performer - to do better in his creative entities. 

Destructive criticism is a sign of jealousy and is a lousy way to express the views.

Any critic who offers destructive criticism to anybody - must try to do that act which he or she is criticizing in others to see - how hard it is.

Remember Salangai oli - Kamalahaasan character?- what is the criticism - he followed?

Finally, if you want to avoid criticism all the time, Say nothing, do nothing and BE NOTHING!
