Topic: How being open to ideas and comments help you learn? (Read 352 times)

what you say is true that the portion must be appropriate between receiving praise and criticism. if we get continuous praise, we will tend to forget how to accept criticism from someone. but if someone always gets criticism it might affect his self-confidence.
if we receive too much criticism in everything we do it means we need to pause from our activities and evaluate what is wrong with us. we have to be able to find out what is wrong with us when we always receive criticism.
in essence we should not be selfish and always be open to criticism from others in the learning process because criticism is a process to recognize and correct our mistakes.

The purpose of the creation of this forum is to discuss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as these discussions are going on, we should expect comments that are not in our favor and that doesn't mean that we won't pay attention to those comments, to me, every comment here in this forum is important to me, after all individuals have different method of expressing their feelings on things, we in this forum should see every criticism here as an advice.

So many people in this forum today went through different criticism or the other to be where they are today, life itself is full of critics, but as humans we should learn from any comment here because most things said here solve problems not only here in the forum but in real life too.

The knowledge I got in this forum helped me a lot in cryptocurrencies and other things generally, so we should not take any comment here personal rather we should see them as a process of putting us on the right track of learning what we don't know.

I love this aspect of "passion and patience" you talked about. You see it only takes one with passion for something to exercise patience for that same thing. If you see someone passionate about learning you will see how patient they are willing to be to learn, they listen because whatever you say is very meaningful and important to them hence they do not want to miss everyone word that comes out from your mouth.

Being open to new ideas is attached to ones passion to learn that new ideas and learning it takes patience. So therefore, for one to be able to learn, one must exercise patience and have passion for what they want to learn about.

If one refuse to accept new comments or ideas and just hate whenever corrected, then it’s a clear sign that he is not ready to learn, as learning requires an open minded individual so he can easily perceive every new idea that comes his way. That’s why aside from being hunger of new knowledge and good information, one should have the high interest and high determination to learn, and this could be perfectly done if you have the passion and patience to learn new things.

Its so dumb decision to believe only on one side while we don't know if the stated information is thru or not and we believe them easily since they promise to give good information that can help us earn. This is so bad if we spot a scammer give this tips since maybe we will be the next victim and fall on their schemes. That's why it will be better to listen on different opinion since we can evaluate those information then it can help us to decide to do better decisions.

Know that learning will only happen if you don’t resist it, so you have to be more open on new suggestions and comments that you think that will make your learning more relevant. Otherwise, you will be stuck with your old and limited knowledge which is not a good thing at all. And by accepting learning, it’s your responsibility too to share what you have gained, and that’s a cycle that we should take part to so we can also inspire others to learn.

It's actually becoming very rampant in our community today...that newbies are absolutely right in everything they do; setting up a standard of orientation is painful for anyone to adhere to. They're being guided and transformed limitedly by the little they know...and then BOOOMMM!!! They'll Begin to experience a very stunted growth - which would finally lead 'em to the ideas of cutting corners.
"There's more to gain in listening than talking "... I remember how we all started.... Who's got the ballsiness to talk to anyone as long as they're correct? It becomes rare...it's that confrontation and criticism that spurs up the learning spirit.

By accepting your mistakes and be more open for criticism and comments, that will lead you to learn even more the easier and faster way. That is the secret for you to increase your knowledge and be successful on your endeavor by welcoming all the positive and negative comments from other people. Though it’s quite frustrating to hear some negative points of yours, but it’s actually made for you to be more motivated and be more interested to learn not just in the forum, but even in every aspect of your life.

People see criticism as a norm and I have come to adapt in such situation. Note for you to grow in whatever thing you are doing you must be criticized so you should see criticism as a natural phenomenon, If you are been criticized about a particular stuff just try to scrutinize the comment very well, If there are things that you found in the critics comment that you are not doing right, then you should try as much as possible to make amendments immediately to avoid future repeation, But if you found nothing, The best thing to do at this point is to pay deaf ear to such criticism because it is not a constructive one, Just see it as means of discouragement that have to be ignored in other not to divert your attention.

Note if you want to learn you must be open to many things like; Provocative comments, Criticism, Offensive like Correction. As a person that is after his or her goals you should focus on what you are chasing and overlook anything you see as a setback on your way, I see this as the only means in which you can be successful in  in this life.
 

Self evaluation is absolutely essential when analysing data from multiple sources especially when making financial decisions. We can gain a deeper understanding and make better decisions by critically analysing the material. Even if they appear to be unfavourable at first different points of view can help us see both the weaknesses and the advantages of the topic we are studying. Accepting constructive criticism for our errors is vital because it motivates us to act and continue to get better. In the end we may navigate financial decisions with more clarity and raise our chances of success through self evaluation and a willingness to learn.

So important to have self evaluation on the information we receive coming from multiple sources since it can put us on closest thing that can help us on any matter especially on investment decisions we want to take. It also good for us if we are open to all ideas either its sounds bad or good since we may know the flaws and good thing on what we are searching for.
Its not bad to get criticize for mistakes done since its more important that we take action to improve.

Self evaluation too is another thing one needs to do regularly to know how far they have gone. When one checks their activities and people's reaction and response to  what they have down so far it enables them to have a rethink of either putting more efforts to mprove on whatever they are lacking or continue with the good work they have been doing.

One should be able to draw strength from criticisms to make corrections and also take accolades for good work done so as to do more. Only then there would be a balanced equation from bother end.

It should be a sort of balanced thing. You get criticized when necessary and you get praised when necessary. These two will form a moving force that will propel you to greatness. If you are always being praised, it will also give a sense of wrong judgement and will not motivate you to do your best.  You will definitely think you are the best and therefore you have arrived.
That can also be said for criticism. When you are overly and unduly critisized, you will tend to lose your confidence and self esteem.

Experience is indeed a teacher and people learn from it only if they are willing to do so. Being ignorant and not doing the right thing and not  accepting responsibility shows a sign of pride and this has led to the downfall of many. People tend not to go close to these sets of people because they tend not to take corrections.

People of that nature do not go far in life because they will be deserted  and when this happens, it affects them psychologically and this tends to cause a setback in their liives  because of their pattern of doings.

If you want to go far in life, be open, listen to people ahead of you because only them that have gotten the experience could tell you more of what you have no idea of. Accept responsibility of your actions and take corrections if the need be. Only then you can make headway and many would want to come your way as they have seen you to be of good conduct and a good listener.

Being open to ideas and comments is crucial for learning and personal growth on forums. When we are receptive to different perspectives and opinions, we expose ourselves to new knowledge and insights that challenge our existing beliefs. Actively listening and obtaining alternative viewpoints is very useful in understanding complex issues and expanding our horizons. Constructive criticism and feedback help identify our blind spots and areas for improvement. Moreover, engaging in respectful discussions and exchanging ideas with others stimulates creativity and fosters collaboration. If you keep your mind open to ideas and comments on various forums like this, it will be very beneficial for your trading growth.

Indeed, this often happens when the initial stages of someone trying to learn. Like in this forum, what I felt when I was a beginner, and participated in the discussion. At that time I really felt left out and felt bad when other users in this forum criticized my posts. But luckily at that time I read a post (I forgot who the author was), and the post contained a topic, aimed at beginners. Since then I have gotten used to not getting angry when someone criticizes my posts.
And in my opinion, the obstacles for beginners who join this forum, mostly experience problems like this. That is not willing to criticize his opinion by others.
Of all the opinions that you have expressed, in my opinion all of them are true. But in essence everyone, especially for beginners in this forum, don't be stubborn, don't feel yourself smarter than others, always respect any input given by other members, and don't forget to keep learning about crypto. And don't be a monotone, if you want to really develop knowledge about crypto.

You are right mate, experience has always been the best teacher,and only those who make mistakes can get experience.It is no doubt that most persons get angry when they are corrected,but I see those people as people who cant change nomatter what,they are avoided by people who would have corrected them because they are stubborn.One thing I have known about taking corrections is that it gives you that experience on the subject matter,and makes you have extra knowledge about it.Most ideas that people make in this forum are very beneficial to people who want to grow financially.I have learnt a lot ever since I joined  bitcointalk community,and would continue to add meaningful contributions to this forum as well.

But you don't want to avoid people who criticize you. If you hang out with people who don't criticize you end of the day you think that you are at your best and you don't need to improve yourself. I am not talking about only surrounding yourself with people who criticize you but also getting around with them for some time so that you know how they judge you and what you are lacking.

Being corrected and getting angry is something as a human we need to work on so that we are nit going to continue in that lifestyle that can make us to have problems with people around us just because we are being corrected from making mistakes even though it is in an absurd manner. We need to learn how to accommodate people and take nonsense so that we can free with people around us and not make enemity with people that are supposed to be our friends.

If we want to live a better lifestyle we must learn how to tolerate people around us, even when they tend to make trouble with us. It is important for us to follow peace with all men and women including children so that people will see us as an epitome of love.

Some people are not even here to learn anything; that's the issue. Some of them are just here to earn merit, rank up, and join campaigns to earn some SATs. Yeah, that's why you see that after correcting some of those users you are referring to, they will still not learn. Although most of them find a way possible to take merits, shockingly, they rank up and their comment is absolute nonsense, which is a big shame when you see a newbie even being of quality post than a higher rank that is supposed to have learned quite a lot of simple stuff in the forum and about Bitcoin. Although rank is not measured by knowledge here, if one is not even sure of what to say on some topics, the best thing to do is not skip to another topic where you can talk some interesting stuff rather than shit posting.

One point I want to add is that if you want to broaden your knowledge, then you should take note of those who share the kind of ideas you seek and learn from them. Criticisms will likely come from those who are already experienced in the system, and by the time you don't want to learn from the criticisms, more will come your way (LoL), and when you become unbearable for some users here, you will definitely enter their ignore list or receive some tages.
