"Negative feedback is better that none." - Hugh Prather

Feedback is useful because it can help you trace back to the things that you did to cause a response, either positive or negative. The inputs that you receive in the form of opinion, criticism or reaction can make you aware of your actions, habits or attitudes that you may have not noticed. You can then make better choices and change or stick to what works.

Every time you receive a response that you consider negative, you can learn from it and use it as a valuable lesson and an opportunity for personal growth. The important thing is not to feel depressed or defensive with the judgments that you received.

Whatever you give out, you get back. Whatever you send out comes back. Whatever you sow, you reap. Who you are today, the status of your relationship and the life you are experiencing are the results of your actions or inaction. If these are not what you have wanted, you are the only one who can change it. You don't need anyone to tell you because you are living it.

If you have been going through life without much success, open up and learn from your mistakes. If you don't know how to correct your errors, ask for help and look for the information from others.

The best way to know if something works is to do it and see the outcome. If it doesn't produce the result that you want, try something else. If it does work, repeat it or improve to make it better. This is the best way to get inputs.
