Before starting this topic so many things have been on my mind because I know how it pains for someone to criticise a write up or a post.
In a forum like this where so many intellects are contributing to a particular discussion there is always a room for criticism and the ability for you as newbie to absorb it as a learning process makes you unique and smart . For me Criticism is a process of learning because when ever I am been criticised I usually seize the opportunity to add more knowledge because I often see it as a corrective measures to widen my horizon .
Additionally, I will sincerely advice all the newbies who are quick to anger or discouraged when their post are been criticised to see it as a means of learning and not to react rudely because mistake brings correction .
Anybody that wants to make progress must know how to take criticism, learn from it and become better, the experienced member that a newbie is learning from has already acquired their own knowledge, so for a beginner to learn from them, the learner must develop a thick skin to accept criticism. Some people might unreasonably criticize a newbie, and instead of him to be reactive and go into unnecessary arguments, the best is to ignore such attacks and move on. Although it can be frustrating for a newbie, after putting in efforts to construct a post according to his level of knowledge, after all the efforts, the post is criticized or told outrightly that it is a shitpost, because it lacks the forum's quality standard, it is still to accept it and improve on areas that needs to be improved on. Nothing good comes easy, so a learner must accept criticism.
