Seeing and correcting other people's mistakes can sometimes be very easy for us than receiving criticism from our critics. But a wise person shouldn't take constructive criticism for an offense unless of course it is done in a demeaning way.
In my response to this week's Ladies of hive contest 85
How do you handle corrections or criticisms from other people?
I realize a long time ago that I'm not perfect, and people can sometimes have a different opinion from mine in most cases and also I can use this to my advantage.
How
When someone corrects my mistake, I simply try to see things from the person's perspective, learn and correct myself where necessary. This way I grow and become a better version of myself.
Have said all these, it is important to know when to ignore your critics.

The earlier we realized that not everyone will always have to agree with us the better, and that does not make them a bad person sometimes we can learn our best lessons from people that disagree with us. I think that life will be so boring if everyone sees things the same way. There are beauty, power, and fun in different perspectives.
If no one criticizes me, I might not know what I needed to improve on, and why I need to improve on myself or work. So, I always welcome critics. However, it makes things better when is constructive.
Do not just point out where I'm lacking but what I can do to be better. I still remember my first weeks on hive, I was a total noob, but never afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. Looking back now, I'm glad I kept on moving even when I knew I knows very little I kept on showing up and doing things in any better ways I can.
Like my mom will tell me, "if you don't take steps even when you know you don't know it all, you will never learn and be better."
I'm ever ready to receive criticism and corrections for my mistakes, that is how I get better. I view the world from just one side and through others different options I get to see and know more.
