I would hate to hurt someone.<br /><br />If we keep that perspective then we can assume that others feel that way when they critique our work.<br /><br />It can be hard to take, and sometimes we don't agree (sometimes rightfully) but if we step back and look at it later we can see it with new eyes without the emotions attached.Anna Maria Junushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589846694967185982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26676840.post-23735042352076038192010-05-06T19:40:38.096-06:002010-05-06T19:40:38.096-06:00Tamara, I agree.

We have no real way of knowing how we are doing. When we put out heart into something, its hard to hear there might be something wrong. <br /><br />Taking criticism is something I've been working on for my whole life.
