		<description>Criticism, either destructive or constructive, do we really have the right?  They say that everybody is entitled to his/her own opinions,  shall we keep them to ourselves or tell people what we really think?    Well, I think we should put more weight on our reasons of criticizing others.  Whether the end justifies the means.</description>

		<description>Criticism is easier to offer however, the person on the receiving end of criticism has the tendancy to become defensive, upset, and unwilling to accept your feedback in the initial stage.  The second stage is in processing criticism, the third stage is when the person begins to take action; make changes that prove to be beneficial to the receiver.  

Tip:  Give criticism then close the case.</description>

		<description>J David, I know what you mean.  Although keep in mind that you&#039;re not trying to tell someone what they should or should not do, instead you focus on things that can be helpful and constructive.  And it&#039;s okay if you&#039;re not an expert, even sharing lessons you&#039;ve learned can be very helpful.  Ultimately, it&#039;s up to a person to make use of the constructive criticism.

BTW, what kind of constructive criticism are you looking to get?  Let me know if there&#039;s anything I can help you out with, I&#039;d be more than willing to lend any insight I have.</description>

		<description>Actually, I am looking for some criticism myself right now, along with some improving tips. 

But I have always found it a little difficult to criticize someone else. I feel like I don&#039;t really have a right to do so in many cases; it is not like I am some sort of super expert.</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[...] Over on The Closet Entrepreneur there is a post about criticism, something that people are great at, except when it comes to constructive criticism.  The good form of criticism is known as constructive criticism, it offers valid feedback both positive and negative. Giving constructive criticism can lend much needed assistance to an individual by giving them feedback on things that can be improved and issues that can be avoided. Giving constructive criticism can also help establish your credibility and expertise by ensuring that you know what youre talking about, and the people who benefit from your constructive criticism will be more likely to credit you in some way or form for playing a part in their success. Constructive criticism can also keep feelings from being hurt by focusing on things that can be improved while avoiding personal attacks or insults. [...]</p>
