HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW THE CLEVEREST PEOPLE AT SCHOOL
ARE NOT THOSE WHO MAKE IT IN LIFE ?
What you learn at school are facts, known facts. Your job at school is to accumulate and remember facts. The more you can remember facts. The better you do. Those who fail at school are not interested in facts ; or maybe the facts are not put to them in a way they find interesting. Some people simply don't have a great faculty for memory.
It doesn't meant they are stupid. It meants their imagination hasn't been fired up by academic tuition. People who are conventionally clever get jobs on their qualifications (the past), not on their desire to succeed (the future).
Very simply, they get overtaken by those who continually strive to be better than they are. As long as the goal is there, therre is no limit to anyones achievement.
DO NOT SEEK PRAISE. SEEK CRITICISM.
IT IS quite easy to get approval if we ask enough people, or if we ask those who are likely to tell us what we want to hear. The likelihood is that they will say nice things rather than be too critical. Also, we tend to edit out the bad so that we hear only what we want to hear. So if you have produced a pleasantly acceptable piece of work yo will have proved to yourself that it's good simply because others have said so.
It is probably okk. But then it's probably not great either. If, instead of seeking approval, you ask, "what's wrong with is? How can i make better?", you are more likely to get truthful, critical answer.
You may even get an improvement on your idea.
And you are still in a position to reject the criticism if you think it is wrong.
Can you find fault with this ?
